He worked for Boeing, and solved some big mathematical problems for them. They gave him a bonus, which he took and used to set up a worker-owned factory. It failed, and he lost all the money, but he never mentioned it again.
He became a carpenter, and worked in the Sanctuary movement on behalf of illegal immigrants. He fought for the dignity of the poor all his life. He could not always be relied upon by the rich and strong, but of the poor and humiliated, he bent all his intelligence and charm to be an effective bulwark. For them, his tact never failed. Lately, he was working on getting war medals for African-American veterans, and he used the last significant sum of money that came into his hands to help set up a refugio for undocumented workers at the Texas border.
