He ran the bookbindery department of Bennett Printing Co. in Dallas from 1923 until near the time of his death in 1945. His granddaughter, Willa Burr Humphreys Hansen, remembered him as being "a fine figure of a man with a full head of hair, and very little gray in it even in his 70s. He had a wry and dry sense of humor, with a touch of sarcasm thrown in. Also a sweet, lop-sided smile. (After riding the street car home from work each day) "he always sat on the front porch, feet propped up on the bannister, smoking his cigar, wearing his hat."
