A lifelong Laredoan, Pin attended San Augustine High School and Martin High School. Through his career, Pin visited almost all 50 states making new friends along the way. With wide interests and varied collections, Pin had no shortage of stories of the open road and exploring different parts of the country.

His boisterous laugh filled every room he was in, and he will always be remembered for his kind heart and willingness to help any friend in need.
