Upon returning to this country, he began a 34-year career with Southern California Edison. Upon retirement, he owned and operated Sierra Flight Center at the Visalia Municipal Airport.

While living in Lindsay, Waymon was actively involved in the United Methodist Church. He was also involved with civic matters as a member of the Lindsay City Council, and he served as mayor. Waymon was an avid sports fan. Although he took up running in his middle-age years, his one true passion for most of his life was playing golf. He also enjoyed card games and belonged to several different contract bridge groups. He enjoyed years of camping, traveling in their RV, and making several summertime river-rafting trips to Montana. Waymon will be remembered fondly for his quick wit and welcoming, friendly manner�qualities that will be deeply missed by his friends and family.
