Not sure what to say?

I knew Presley from working with him at North Dallas Shared Ministries. He was there all the time and one of the most committed volunteers. From working with him many times, I got the impression that he was a man of accomplishment and humor and an all around good guy. I will never forget those times that he brought in his wonderful pear bread to share with us. He will truly be missed. My deepest condolences to Patty and his family.

It was always fun to listen to Presley's perspectives on just about anything. He will be missed by all. My sympathies to all that were close to him.

Patty, we're so sorry to hear about Presley. I remember touring Europe with him one time selling Convex wares—we used to kid him that we needed a Texan-to-English translator to come along! He was a great hit with everyone we visited, because he was honest, knew his stuff, and very personable. He will certainly be missed...

Presley was my first boss, and for many years he was a mentor and a role model for me. He will be sorely missed by all those whose lives he touched.

I have fond memories of Presley as I worked as one of his managers at Convex and HP. His sense of humor, his style and his astute approach to business were an inspiration to me.

I met Presley in 1987 while toiling away in TI/DSEG. Presley dramatically changed my life by convincing me to come to work at Convex. As a result my life has been enriched beyond my own expectations.

Thanks Presley!

It was a great honor to work with Presley at Convex & HP. We shared many interests and he was a man who stuck to his values & principles. We will miss him!

I enjoyed working with Presley and the times I had to go to him with customer issues. Presley always came through. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends. Presley will be missed but always remembered.

Presley was a great influence in my early career at Texas Instruments. My thoughts and prayers for the family. I know you will miss him dearly.
