He was a lifetime resident of Kingsville, Texas which he said would always be home, a Navy Veteran and a Life Member of Elks Lodge #1926 spanning 62 years. After the Navy he returned to Kingsville and began a career in printing at the Kingsville Record for a number of years before he began working at Celanese. After Celanese he started his own printing company, King Printing, located on 7th Street for over 3 decades until the recent fire. He continued his business until his death.
