Harold L. Oppenheimer, who turned a small real estate and loan operation into one of the biggest cattle investment and land management firms in the nation, died of cancer Sunday at the Scripps Clinic in La Jolla.
He had traveled to California from Kansas City to accompany his wife, Daphne, who was receiving treatment at the clinic.
Oppenheimer Industries, based in Missouri, manages about 80,000 head of cattle and 800,000 acres of land for 400 clients in the United States and several other countries.
