Born in 1931 in Goff, TX, Odie grew up in Pecan Gap, TX, served four years in the United States Air Force, then attended East Texas Teachers College where he was introduced to automotive air conditioning. He left college and moved to Mesquite in 1955, there beginning a long career in mobile air conditioning. He co-founded the Cantwell & Cummings A/C installation and repair business in 1957 but left the business in 1960 to answer a call to serve the Lord. Odie attended Baylor University in Waco, then served as a bi-vocational pastor at four different churches in the area. However, he remained involved in the mobile A/C industry, working with several different companies in sales, management and instructional positions. He was involved in the first instruction film about mobile A/C installation and helped design the first R-12 recovery/recycle machine. He later formed C&H Auto Service to install and service mobile HVAC systems, and still later founded Automotive Climate Control to manufacture HVAC systems for buses and ambulances. He formed his last business in the 1980s, Cardinal Compressor Rebuilding. A charter member of both IMACA and MACS, Odie is a recipient of the 2005 Pioneer Award. Odie's family reports that his greatest love was sharing Christ with those he met and ministering to those he loved and served, wanting to help people with "cooling off here and in the hereafter." 38 ACTION * November/December 2013 http://www.macsw.org http://www.macsw.org http://www.macsw.org
