Despot was a member of the Shreveport Club and the East Ridge Country Club and an avid golfer. Despot died after 9 p.m. on February 14, 1991, of a blood clot in his lung. He had appeared to have been in good health despite recent minor surgery. "He was fine at five minutes after nine, and then he was gone by 9:25," said Mrs. Despot, the former Pearla Tinsley (born 1928). "He was feeling great and was looking forward to going back to the golf course," she added.
