He will always be remembered for his signature cowboy hat and boots, sweet tooth for desserts, ranching and raising cattle, and his love for baseball & the Dallas Cowboys. He never missed his chance to visit the ranch, riding around and enjoying the South Texas wildlife & landscape with his family.
