Waymon worked for me in the oilfield at Traloc Construction. He was very good at his job and was liked and respected by all of us at Traloc.
My condolences to his family.

I am sorry for your loss. The Bagwell Family was our neighbor as we grew up in the Westview community west of Whitesboro. Waymond was in my class in school and over the years I have had many good thoughts of him and his family.
