Victor Kissinger III

June 22, 1946 - November 17, 2021

Victor Kissinger III passed away Wednesday, November 17, 2021 after a yearlong, courageous battle with liver cancer. He was 75 years old. A native New Orleanian and a resident of Metairie, LA, he was born on June 22, 1946 to Beulah Eve Hargis Kissinger and Victor Kissinger, Jr., both of whom preceded him in death. He married Blanch Ann McCaffery on January 10, 1969. That same year, he joined the New Orleans Police Department and spent 35 years serving the people of New Orleans, first as a patrolman, then as an EMT, and then finished his career at Headquarters. He was a proud member of the Fraternal Order of Police, where, after retiring from the force, he served his fellow officers as a member of the kitchen crew. He never missed a meeting- not even on his wife’s birthday. He is survived by his loving wife of 52 years, Blanch, and their three children: Victor Kissinger IV (Penny), Ricky Kissinger (Natasia), and Rebecca Kissinger Bouchon (Darrin). He was the proud grandfather of twelve grandchildren: Alexis Kissinger, Victoria Kissinger, Jordan Kissinger, Caroline Kissinger, Kylie Kissinger, Quentin Kissinger, Britton Kissinger, Zachary Kissinger, Keira Kissinger, Ava Kissinger, Sadie Bouchon and Riley Bouchon. He was anticipating the birth of his first great-grandchild at the time of his passing. He is also survived by his sister, Marie Kissinger Burr, and several nieces and nephews. Family and friends are invited to attend the Visitation and Memorial Mass at St. Mary Magdalen Catholic Church, 6425 W. Metairie Avenue, Metairie, Louisiana, 70003 on Tuesday, November 23, 2021. Visitation will be from 10:00am to 12:00pm, immediately followed by Mass.
