He became a Certified Public Accountant and used those skills for Western Auto. \r\n\r\nAs a young man, he was plagued with the disabling disease, Multiple Sclerosis. He kept it at bay for over 50 years with natural remedies and willpower. He refused to let MS define his life. After a short medical leave, he worked as an auditor for the Texas State Comptroller's Office in Austin, TX. After retirement, he lived out his remaining years in Kerrville.\r\n\r\nIn accordance with his expressed wish, there will be no service.
