He was retired from Ector County Felony Probation Department in Odessa, Tx.
He lived a good life and he was a loving husband and devoted father. He always strived to provide for his family. He enjoyed meeting and talking to people. He was well respected by numerous members of the community who knew him. As my father's health began to fade it became difficult for him because in his heart and mind he was still the independent active man he once remembered being. Days before his passing he told me that the good Lord had him on the last of this journey in life and yet he wished he would let him stay just a little longer but that it is God's hands now.
Dad I will never forget all that you taught me and how you were always there for me throughout my life. Thank you for loving me. You are deeply loved and will be missed, but I know you are with mom, granny and papa now as you rest in our Lord's hands now.
