Tex received a four year degree as a master plumber and owned a successful residential plumbing business for over ten years. He was held in high "Prestige" and was well respected in the construction community for his quality of work and craftsmanship. Tex's main hobby was being with his family. He was an avid outdoors-man and enjoyed hunting, fishing and camping with his family. Tex especially enjoyed spotting elk with the kids from his back porch. Tex was a dreamer that would make the impossible happen. The eternal optimist, no problem was ever too much to overcome. Tex had a smile that would light up the room and would make a stranger feel like they had known him for years. Tex was the most generous and caring man. He would drop everything he had going to help another in need.
