They returned to San Angelo when he was a teenager where he met the love of his life, Florene James. They were together for 68 years. He served in the Navy during World War II. His occupations were varied, but many may remember him as "The Barber" on Bell Street & Norma. He and Florene were active church goers wherever they lived. He liked spending time with family, fishing, and sharing Jesus with others.
He was preceded in death by his parents, several siblings and his son, Joe Falkner.
