Born on April 28, 1935, in Paris, Texas, Dub lived a rich and full life marked by devotion to his family, unwavering kindness, and an infectious sense of humor that brought joy to everyone he encountered.

An extraordinary husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, was Dub cerished as a one-of-a-kind individual whose empathy extended beyond his immediate circles to embrace the less fortunate and homeless.

His commitment to service was further reflected in his leadership roles, including President of the Postal Supervisors Association in Dallas, Texas, and his impactful tenure as Social Coordinator for the Knights of Columbus in Waxahachie, Texas.

A memorable quirk was the amusing gesture he performed for all children he came in contact with by running his finger across his upper lip while emitting a comical sound—which became a beloved family tradition, now joyously carried on by his grandson, Jacob. His engaging personality was also evident in the playful manner he would ask women he met, "How do you pronounce that?" sparking laughter and light-hearted connections wherever he went.
