Christine and I have 3 girls: Kim (43), Shelley (40) and Kay (33) and all three are married. Kim is a manager of a store in Branson and has 3 children: Branden (17), Megan (13) and Derek (7). Shelley is a 4th grade teacher in St. Louis and has 2 children: Amanda and Ryan. Amanda is 19 and was a contestant for Miss University of Arkansas and currently is holding a 3.9 GPA. Ryan is 15 and an avid talented golfer, attending the OSU golf camp every summer. Kay is very busy with her two children: Hailey (5) and Ashley (2).

I was just 38 years old when the doctors told my family I would not make it out of the hospital. Boy, did I fool them!! (same old Gulley!!) Before that stroke I had worked for Reda Pump for 18 years. I have been on disability since my stroke and feel like I am the "bionic" man with everything I have had done to my body. I know it is through God that I am still alive. We continue to be active members of the Bartlesville Southern Baptist Church.
I am Blessed!!!
