and William Kermit Cash, the third born of 5 children. He graduated from Antlers
High School in 1955 and married Mickey Frazier, in 1956. After working as a
machinist at Otis Engineering, he opened his own full service Humble station in
1962, and after 16 years, closed the doors of what had become his Exxon service
station. His second career was in the Heating and Air Condition Industry.
His second life began on March 27, 1992, when he received a heart transplant at
