After the war, he worked in gas stations and odd jobs until he found his calling. He worked in local banks, learning and making his way to President. He worked with heart and common sense even when computers entered the industry. He could see beyond a computer and was able to grow the business while at the same time, helping his customers. He worked with compassion. After retirement, he was a leader with an organization called SCORE, which helped guide new small business owners to success.
As a dad and granddad, he was a wonderful historian who loved talking history to all of those around. As children and friends, we felt we were at a campfire listening to the wonderful stories he told. When visiting his home in Bryan, we would add another 60 miles traveling and touring his lovely town. He was so proud of Bryan with all the daily progress. He loved his family and his friends. He never said a negative word about anyone. He was a very proud and respected gentleman.
