Harold(Sonny) was born in the settlement of China, Louisiana to his parents, Allen Treme and Effie Hunt Jeansonne.  He graduated From Elton High School in 1948.  After graduation, Sonny then joined the Merchant Marines where he would travel the world until the start of the Korean War. He then joined the United States Navy where he was detached to the French Foreign Legion due to his fluency in the French language. Upon completion of his service in the Navy, he moved back home to Elton to take over his father's farming and ranching operation.  He loved Elton High School sports.  Sonny donated men for labor and equipment to build the first football field in Elton.  After selling his farm, he joined the Pipefitters Local 106 where he completed his career in the construction trade.  Sonny was active in the American Legion and other veterans organizations.    He was a devoted husband to his wife, Betty Hebert Treme, for 61 years. In his retirement, he began platting custom cattle whips which were sought after by people from all over the country.  He loved to hang out at the local restaurant, Tony's , where he enjoyed drinking coffee and discussing current events.  Sonny was a very wise and kind man who cherished his family.  He also had a great sense of humor.  Sonny will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.

Those left to cherish Sonny's memory include his wife, Betty Hebert Treme; one daughter,  Arlene Treme of Elton; and one son, J.S. Treme and wife, Anne of Lake Charles; and one granddaughter, Melissa LeJeune of Elton.
