His first job in Amarillo had been as a movie projectionist.

Survivors include his widow, Mary; a son, Terry of Amarillo; two daughters, Mrs. Bill Shugart and Mrs. Charles Massey, both of Amarillo; a sister, Mrs. Frank Farris of Wichita, Kan.; a brother, Jack of Lubbock; a stepson, Jerry Masterson of Dayton, Ohio; 11 grandchildren and 18 great-grandchildren.
