He worked for Sinclair Oil and Gas in Dallas and Albuquerque, NM through 1963, then for Atlantic Richfield in San Antonio, where he retired.

He was an avid fan of the San Antonio Spurs (after giving up on the Dallas Cowboys). He is remembered by everyone for his cheerful attitude, kind spirit, friendly nature and smiling face. He had endless devotion to his church, his family and friends.
