As one of our community’s “do gooders,” L. A. was always the first one to help someone out, no matter what the situation, including raising money for different needs.
In the early 1960s he helped organize and start the first Nueces Canyon Volunteer Fire Department where he was also a volunteer, and in 1976 he did the same with the Nueces Canyon EMS and drove the ambulance for many years. He served one term on the Camp Wood City Council and one year as a Nueces Canyon School Board Trustee. In the 1990s, he served a term as Edwards County Commissioner where he was instrumental in getting the much needed bridge crossing at the Nueces River at Barksdale. Due to his great love of the Nueces Canyon, L. A. dedicated his life to serving, helping, supporting and promoting its community, people and surrounding areas. L. A. will be missed greatly by his family, friends and community, as he was an asset and example to us all.
