He coached in many private clubs around the Rio Grande Valley. He taught all his children tennis when they were very young, and instilled the love of tennis in all of them. He had hundreds of students he loved and taught throughout his 50 year career. He was loved by many young and old. He lived and breathed tennis. His love for the game was what kept him young.
