Doorbell.
Kids answer the door.
I'm here to mow your lawn.
Huh? We don't know anything about it, we will get our dad.
Dad gets to the door , is shot , later, dies in hospital.

I knew this guy. As a customer, and he wasn't Mr Warmanfuzzy, but, if you took some time to get to know him, after he'd seen your face a few times, he was okay. The news articles paint a picture much different than what I saw, and I have heard that he seriously disliked minorities. Maybe that explains the very few I saw there. His Grandfather established it 75 years ago.
Syrian/Lebanese, something like that. I like talking to people, especially business men, and it was not easy to get this guy out of his newspaper. Once I had him talking he saw that I understood business and wasn't an idiot, after that he was slightly more outgoing.

Looks like someone made him an offer he shouldn't of refused.

No telling in this day and age and unless you really knew this fella one wouldn't know what he might have been into.  That takes some sand to go to his house though.  Lots of bat $hit crazy people out there.  

Best regards,

That's a terrible deal, Justin. It def. looks like a hit. I hope they figure out what the story was.

We had a well regarded lawyer killed in Dallas a couple weeks ago, apparently in his garage in the middle of the day and then the place soaked in gas and set on fire.

He was plaintiff's attorney in a lawsuit against some really dangerous individuals. The judge went under federal protection after the murder, I think still is.

Let's be careful out there.

The lawyer was Ira Tobolowski, part of an old family of Dallas lawyers. I don't know about the lawsuit. I think he did real estate and corporate litigation which, you know, there are thousands of kinds of disputes and fraud issues that can turn vicious if you are messing with the wrong people on the other side of the deal.

According to Dallas Morning News, the police and courts were aware of let's say trouble brewing before the murder and were already using extra bailiffs and so forth.

You get these trusts created in wills when someone does not trust his/her heirs not to degenerate into that kind of thing. But that doesn't always prevent trouble if the players are nasty enough.

Really sad. Tobolowski was a family man with a good legal reputation. And like the Longview deal, killed at home to make it as pesronal as possible.

A trust should never be administrated by anyone who has an interest in it

Update, nothing but gossip,, but, lifelong Longview resident talking about it said that he would threaten employees, waving a gun around, intimidating them, telling them they better not be stealing or talking bad, yadda,, etcetera and so on and so forth..

Okay, asked the wife Why she would believe it. The source's parents and grandparents have been in business since about when the Horaneys started up. The stories come through the family, having been in the business community.. So, I wouldn't bet the farm, but I would not just shrug it off.

Long list of potential enemies... Possibly just a really good friend of someone he did wrong.

I did notice that the employees were rarely the same, one visit to the next.
