Dr. Cathcart came to Texas to attend Texas Dental College in Houston where he met Ruth who was attending Jefferson Davis Hospital School of Nursing. Dr. Cathcart served as a Captain in the U.S. Army First Calvary as a Dentist during World War II.

After military service in World War II, he began his dental career in College Station, where he fell in love with College Station and became an Aggie in spirit immediately.  Dr. Cathcart and his wife, a nurse, worked together in the dental office over Madeley Pharmacy at South Gate in College Station.  He was a life time member of the First Baptist Church of College Station.  He was an active deacon in the church for many years.

The family would like to express their appreciation to Dr. E.C Bashaw, Nick Combs, Roy Hagler and the Men’s Sunday School Class, Adult 3 for their concern and prayers.

The Men’s Class, Adult 3, will serve as honorary pallbearers.

Denise, Doug, Elizabeth and Emily Venuti were the very closet and kindest of friends and neighbors.  Ian and Sara Muise also shared their hearts and time with Dr. Cathcart.
