A native of Silsbee and living several years in Lubbock, Texas, he moved to Beaumont to work for the Department of Human Resources as a fraud investigator. He enjoyed his work and served them well until his retirement.
E.J. was of good moral character, had an easy going and sweet nature, and enjoyed life to the utmost, making it a pleasure to know him and aquire many lifelong friends over the years.
