He went to work at Dallas Power & Light in 1977 and continued to work with the family of companies, Texas Utilities and Oncor Electric until his retirement on May 31, 2011, after 34 years of dedicated service. Wynn married his sweetheart, Pamela Ann Regan, also a Lancaster High School graduate, on June 16, 1984. They began their life together on Francis St. in Lancaster where they built a home filled with love, enjoyed working in their garden together and watched the birds that gathered at their assorted birdhouses. Their precious daughter, Michelle Kathleen, was born on May 11, 1988. Wynn was a very proud father. He enjoyed sharing his love for music with her. He was always seen at the football games on Friday night - so proud of Michelle as she marched in the band. He loved the band concerts, competitions, and the parades. He became an Aggie dad and could not have been more proud. He wore the maroon often and thoroughly enjoyed each and every visit to College Station for football games, Wind Symphony Concerts, Parents Weekends, and any other excuse to spend time with Michelle. He also loved supporting Baylor University, Pam’s alma mater, and especially enjoyed a good Baylor/A&M match-up. His family spent the last 9.5 years of his life in Waxahachie where he loved his Purple Martin birdhouses, his field of bluebonnets, his variety of roses, his hearty vegetable garden, and Saturday mornings on the back porch with his sweetheart and a cup of coffee. They have many great memories of trips in the RV (especially Yellowstone National Park), fishing in the Gulf Coast of Texas at Port Aransas and climbing the mountains of Colorado, Wyoming, Montana and New Mexico.
