After his Semi-retirement he worked with Glenn and Molly Poellhemus at the San Angelo Feed Yard in Miles, Texas. He worked very hard to make a life for his family and to be successful in all that he did. He was very generous, kind and had a wonderful sense of humor. He loved to tell stories of his adventures and could talk for hours. He leaves us with many fond memories, laughs and an emptiness that will be hard to fill.
