Tiny worked for Wyanet Locker for 31 years. He also worked for Hysters & Whipples driving truck. He served on the Buda town board for one term. He served on the Buda Fire Department from 1974-1990.

He loved spending time at the timber, checking on the cows, going up north to Wisconsin, collecting Allis Chalmers tractors, tinkering on some project, cruising around town, but especially wheeling and dealing on vehicles to the point his yard looked like a used car lot at times.

Per Tiny’s wishes no services will be held. Cremation rites have been accorded.
