Robert L. Waltrip, a Texas undertaker who bought funeral homes coast to coast to become No. 1 in 'deathcare' has died at 92
As a boy living upstairs from his father’s funeral parlor in Houston, Robert L. Waltrip got early lessons in respect for the grieving. For instance, he learned that bouncing a ball on the floor was inappropriate when a funeral was in progress downstairs.
