becoming a Texas game warden, and he was assigned to his first duty

served the Henderson County community for several decades before
retiring from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department on December
31, 2002; and

into their family a cherished granddaughter, Trinity; and

fulfillment in his volunteer service at Cayuga Drive Baptist Church

his loved ones with many treasured memories, and they will forever
hold him close in their hearts; now, therefore, be it
