Jamie returned to Odessa and worked with his father in the road construction business until 1964, when he moved his family to Sonora, Texas. He ranched in Sutton and Andrews counties until his retirement to Lake LBJ in 2000. Jamie served as a founding director of Sutton County National Bank, now The Bank and Trust, established in 1983 and continued to serve on its board of directors as well as that of West Texas BanCorp until his death.
Jamie was a Christian gentleman who loved God, his church, his family and friends, Paisano, and Baylor University. He served all of these with his whole heart. His word was his bond in all things and his loyalty to his beliefs unquestionable.
