He grew up in Ennis, TX and graduated from University of North Texas. He moved to Lubbock, TX to begin a long career as an executive underwriter with Fireman's Fund Insurance Company. It was there that he met his wife, Lynn Hunter, and they remained happily married for 52 years until her passing 2 years ago. He returned to Ennis, TX in 1970 and continued to work for Fireman's Fund until his retirement. His favorite outside activity was working on his farm and ranch just outside of Ennis, where they lived until the year 2000.
