While at Boys Ranch Razz made a lifelong friend in Ken Arthur.  Kenneth Arthur wrote a book about their adventures at Boys Ranch and their many adventures all through the years.  The book, “The Salt and Pepper Gang” was on the Amazon Best Seller list and may still be purchased.  Razz and Ken were closer than brothers, their bond was not to be broken.

Razz worked various jobs over the years after graduating from BR in 1980. These included steel work and landscaping, he was a jack of all trades.

Razz considered Boys Ranch, and everyone involved as his family.  He thoroughly enjoyed a dinner 2 weeks ago with many of his Boys Ranch family from near and far meeting in Amarillo to show their love and support for him.  He also loved attending music festivals and fishing any chance he got.  He was looking forward to planting flowers on his back patio as the weather warmed up.

Razz lived his life his way and passed his way.
