After highschool he moved to Texas to attend Sam Houston State University where he graduated with his Master's Degree. He worked after graduation for RJ Reynolds (despite having never smoked a cigarette a day in his life) where he would retire.  He then went on to work for the Harris County Tollroad Authority until his passing.  He had two children and a granddaughter.  He loved his cats, cooking, reading the newspaper and listening to talk radio. My dad was funny, smart, charismatic, sassy and an extremely hard worker.  He truly was my role model and inspiration. Most of all he was an AMAZING and loving father.
