Finger became a well-known face in Houston as the spokesman and CEO of the family-owned furniture retailer.


He even earned awards for several of his store promotions.

Finger was a donor and director for the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, but he was also a participant. 

He won the 2001 Cutting Horse World Championship and was inducted into the National Cutting Horse Association Members Hall of Fame.

Finger’s many contributions to local museums, hospitals, churches, theaters, symphonies, Goodwill, the United Fund, the Home for the Aged and the Muscular Dystrophy Association helped to better the community.
