He was also a member of the Masonic Lodge for 61 years and Order of the Sanger Eastern Star.
Like many of his era that grew up during the depression; he learned the value of hard work and determination. In 1985, he retired from Helms Printing in Dallas, a family owned business. After retirement, he and Ruby moved to Denton and he constructed their home. He believed in performing at your very best and taking pride in your workmanship.
He loved to read and was a master of many skills which led him to scores of hobbies. He was a ham radio operator "W5NEK"; an amateur photographer, a chocolate connoisseur, self-taught electrician and avid collector of coins and historical artifacts. H.T. loved listening to his dearly- loved wife play hymns on the organ and piano. H.T. touched the lives of so many people with his gentle spirit, his ability to do things right, and determination of which he maintained until the very end of his earthly journey.
