His long loved dog Cyril was found weeks after Hurricane Katrina in very poor condition. Unconfirmed reports by local insiders state that Cyril is alive and well, however, mentally retarded and a victim of sexual abuse. Stan Verrett's favorite song is Wade in the Water and on a warm clear summer night neighbors say you can hear Cyril howling along with Stan's renditions from the front porch.
