I went to work with Tex at Am Tech Video in 1991, right out of college. He was a great boss!! After I left the job, we continued our friendship through the many years and I am so saddened at his sudden passing away. I am just hearing about this now, so I am also devastated to have missed the services for him. I have many awesome, fun times and memories with him that I will hold dear. RIP dear friend!! -Betsy Benander Traben

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

So sorry to hear this. He was a great guy. Prayers be with you.

I am very proud to have been the partner to such a precious man. Yes Wesley-my strength hinges on the fact that Tex is now safely in Our Lord's sheltering arms. My one sad regret is that before he entered into Paradise he had to suffer here on earth.. Thank you everyone for your kind words and the sweet memories you shared. I will miss my soulmate very much

I love you Dad

So sorry for your loss. He was a kind caring man. He will be missed.

My fondest memory of Tex was the way he knew how to help me through the passing of my husband. His compassion and knowledge was a calling from God, I’m so thankful he followed. Today he is with Wendy, Wayne, Gail and his parents. These are the people he shared such great loss with me. I will miss my buddy greatly. My heart is deeply burdened for you, Karen, May you seek comfort from God. RIP Tex

Tex had been an active member of the Men's Group at St Paul Lutheran Church Berea, and his passing has saddened all of us that knew him as a friend. Our "Monday Night at Mike's" Group meets regularly, and Tex's wisdom and insight were an important part of what our group has become over the last seven years. As a quiet guy, we learned bits and pieces of Tex's life through his comments, stories, and observations about life and his faith. The suddenness of Tex's death has reminded all of us how fleeting life is, and I'm sure I can speak for the other guys, that Tex's passing leaves a huge hole in our lives, as well as the lives of his family and those that loved him. Tex will be missed. Our happiness hinges on the fact that Tex is now safely in Our Lord's sheltering arms.

Dear Karen and Family, You have my deepest sympathy. Prayers are what carries us through these difficult days, and you and your family are in mine. Love, Joan

All of Tex's family is my prayers!

I went to work for Tex in 1981 he was a great boss and after 30+ years we were good friends he was a great man and took good care of me and always gave me good advice he was a man who you could look up to he will be deeply missed

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
