After graduation from Austin, he attended Harvard on the Border, aka Texas Western College, graduated with a biological sciences and chemistry degree. After graduation he went to Denver, where he met and married Becky and went to work for the Food and Drug Administration. From there they went to NYC and then to DC (Vienna, VA) where he transferred to the Consumer Product Safety Commission. Bugs had great career, receiving a number of individual and group awards, including a Silver Certificate for Meritorious Service.
Bugs and Becky had two children, Rob and Karen, who in turn gave them four or five grandchhildren.
Twelve or so years ago his lungs stopped functioning, one actually collapsed. He survived that episode and went on to live a fairly normal life, still working. A few years back his condition worsened and he had a lung transplant. The transplant lasted a year or so before he died.
Bugs had a great sense of humor and was always upbeat. He fought the good fight and I'm proud to call him a friend.
Bugs was a good husband, a good father, and a loyal friend; and we saw that reflected in the wonderful folks we met when Winston and I attended a memorial service for him in Washington, D.C. Bugs was the best!

Bugs will remain in my memory as one of the good guys.
