Charles Gillespie "Charlie" Cullum

Charles Gillespie "Charlie" Cullum, the quiet catalyst in Dallas' business, civic, cultural and religious affairs, died Tuesday of complications from cancer at his Dallas home. He was 89.

He and his late older brother, Robert "Bob" Cullum, co-founded the Tom Thumb food stores. They built a billion-dollar business from five bankrupt Toro's grocery stores that the family took over to cover a $200,000 bad debt in 1948.
