Houston was one of my best buddies. I worked at United Equipment with him for 8 years. I will always remember his smile and cutting up with the customers and employees.
I will miss him for sure!

What wonderful memories I have of all the Baxter
family. Houston would always help me catch and saddle Blackie. Extremely patient with me and the horse.
I am so sorry for your loss.

Going to Crawfordsville school, Houston and I had some fun times. Later in life when we were both living in West Memphis, occasionally Houston would come by my business Red Barn and we'd try to catch up. He was a good man, treated everyone with respect, and will be truly missed. My condolences to Ann and family.
