A graveside service will follow the church service at Restland Funeral Home located at 13005 Greenville Avenue, Dallas, TX 75243. Our dad, granddad, uncle and friend was a strong and gifted man. He had a vibrant intellect with degrees from Abilene Christian and Dartmouth College. He devoted the majority of his career with Frito-Lay where he served as General Manager and President of Canada. Though he achieved much, nothing compared to his love of Jesus and his family – near and far – and his puppy Scout. When he wasn’t tending to family, church and Costco, he could be found working on his ranch outside Athens, TX. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to a charity of your choice.
