Charles (Dub) Gossett was a native Houstonian and graduated from Reagan High School in 1942.  He played football and made the "all city team", playing end position.

After graduation, Dub joined the Army Air Force and was placed in the Air Transport Command. He served our country until the end of WWII, having flown all around the world.

After being discharged, he worked in the air conditioning business. While working for Straus Frank, Co., he helped air condition the Esperson Building in downtown Houston. He learned air conditioning from it's beginning, and his company at that time installed many of the first air conditioning systems for Houston residents.

Later in life, Dub prepared for the Gospel Ministry and he established a mission church, sponsored by First baptist Church of Houston.

Dub passed away in 2000, leaving his wife of 56 years, 3 children, and 4 grandchildren. His son, Chuck, now owns and operates Gossett Air Conditioning, Inc., which was established in 1978.
