J.R. said that Bum "can be resourceful" and he is said to have a knack for finding people that don't want to be found. J.R. used Bum to spy on Sue Ellen and see whom she was dating. Bum also gathered information on Cliff Barnes's right-hand man Frank Ashkani and also kept J.R. up-to-date on John Ross.

After J.R.'s death, Bum worked for John Ross and later with Bobby, Sue Ellen, and Christopher enacting J.R.'s masterpiece. Bum revealed that J.R., dying from cancer and with only a few days left to live, asked him (Bum) to shoot him so that J.R. could pin his death on longtime rival Cliff Barnes, ending the Barnes-Ewing feud as part of J.R.'s final masterplan. Bum said that J.R.'s final request was the hardest thing he ever had to do but John Ross understood he was only following J.R.'s wishes. In his final letter J.R. said Bum was "the best friend I didn't deserve to have".
