Truman was a remarkable person who touched the lives of everyone he met. He was known for his boundless generosity, symbolized by his outstretched arms on his Abide Realtors billboard, always reaching to welcome everyone to Oklahoma City, a place he truly loved.
Throughout his life, Truman achieved so much. As an early businessman and owner of Abide Realtors, he demonstrated incredible vision and leadership.
