Preston A. Pendergraft, Jr., an Interior Designer, was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma on October 23 1931. He attended Sequoyah Grade School, Cleveland Junior High and graduated from Will Rogers High School. He grew up with his brother Bill on an acreage north of Tulsa, Oklahoma digging caves, building tree houses, swinging on vines and playing outdoors all day.
He joined the cub scouts and boy scouts which fostered his love of the outdoors. After graduating from high school he served two years in the Army stationed in Germany. He attended Oklahoma State University where he studied Interior Design. His career took him from Guam, California, New Mexico, Colorado, Washington DC to Hawaii. During the last ten years of his career he designed over 220 health care facilities in over 17 states. His leisure time was spent camping with his family and pursing the great outdoors.

you.

Preston was a good friend for over twenty years. His interior design skills perfectly matched my taste and I will enjoy the results for years to come. He could fix all sorts of things around the home and unselfishly shared those talents. He had many other attributes and I will miss his friendship. Please accept my condolences for your loss.

So very sorry for your loss. I went to Grover Cleveland Jr. High and Will Rogers High School with Preston. We were not in any classes together but I knew him. He was very well thought of we will all miss him terribly.
