My current age is 62. When I was 12, I thought that people my age now would be over the hill. I was so completely wrong. working to age 65 planing for retirement baisicaly most of the time I share my home with wife and bakjely are dog, which I find love what a way to live. In 10 years, I hope to be 72. I'm going to get there by serving the LORD,FAMILY. MY OLDEST FRIEND NAME IS RONNIE MARPLE, W MET IN GRADE SCHOOL AND GRADUATED TOGETHER, WE HAD SOME OF THE SAME INTEREST My first job was at KINGSFORD CHARCOAL, where I got paid 1.65 to OPERATE PLANT. What I remember most about it is WORKING HARD AND VERY DIRTY AND DANGERES. LIFE AND FUN ON GRANDAD BEVERS FARM ALONG THE POTOMAC RIVER IN MINERAL CO. WITH THE FAMILY this is kinda funnie, my friend ronnie bothwell and i where sleeping in a tent, right after easter, and he had a big choclate rabbit and i ask him for some and he said no, and he meant it, so he eat it all my dad and mom, they where always there for me and my brother for what ever the reason yes for the most part horseshoe,softball,and dog trophies, when they champion once a friend always a friend always there to help The one person from my past who I'd most like to see again is bever grandparents, because they showed me how to love and serve GOD. If I could improve my home, I'd remodel the whole outside and add on a large front porch with large post to hold the roof up. My dream home would be the one i have with joyce and all my family to be around me.. be there when your needed, and show love all the time. GOD, is my hero and never lets me down WWE Wrestling, beagles, hunting,go walking in the woods Be patent,understanding,listen before answering question,be there when needed Not to much differntly, maybe shorts, dessing up in a suit In 10 years, I hope to be Right Here. I'm going to get there by serving a great GOD. That i am the pres, of the reunion when i would not take any leader ship in school.And the way my life has progressed, how i am a born again believer in GOD AND HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON 'JESUS'. Who knows all my past and future life and how it is going to turn out, that is the way i am and know one can beat me down, i JUST KEEP LOOKING UP /GOD BLESS LIFE THE WAY IT IS, When your life has been changed when you get married, and then your life has been described by a bunch of lies, things you are blamed for but they never happened, things that hurt a man through the rest of his life. If onlly the truth could be told, things with my family could be put back together. God knows what i am saying here is the truth. GOD BLESS You know life is never ending in its storey form it just keeps right on going from one thing to another, my mom had a stroke on easter sunday 2011, and now she had to come live with me, she has ajusted real well, and then came a nother surprize Jeramy my step son had gotten married a few years back to a girl from clarksburg wva her name is meliss...Expand for more
a, and she had 3 daughters ,marykate,dakoda,, and then back in june he became a father of christian elias brodwater, who has made a big leap for the whole family, so that makes 12 grand children for me and joyce. well just waiting on the next story to add. Well we have a new dog now his name is DUKE, and he is a yellow lab and pit bull mix,.he has the nature of a lab, smartest dog i have owned he really took up to my mom she is 84 years old now and he watches every move she makes, likes to lay beside her in her room, she sneaks him a lot of snackes, and he loves that, joyce dont care much for it but it is ok at her point in life, let her do as much as she enjoyes.. She was doing good after the stroke, put now things are turning for the worst, it is to the point she needs hellp all the time. but we are here as long as we can handle things and then it will be a big decision to make, BUT we will handle that with GOD'S HELP Well things turned a little bit, my mom died and went with JESUS up in heaven. She had been ready to go for a good while, one day she said i am ready to go, and i said you don't have a say in that GOD does, and she said i hope he hurries up i am ready to go.On 0ct 14 2011 she got her wish and she went in peace. My daudhter lori said to my grandson Anthony grandma ruth wont be up at paps for you to talk to, he said thats ok mom she is up in heavn with jesus pappy les. Then i had to go to martinsburg my left knee started giveing me some trouble from my accident the neuropisie that was caused by the crushing had eaten my cartlege up and then now i have severe arthiritis in my left and my right knee, he said it was severe so he gave me a shot of cortazone to ease the pain, now i am feling a little beter.. After that things started back to normal, and then we got a call from jeremy that the baby was sick and in the hospital for 3 days then things kinda got better and he got to go home. then we got a call that joyce mom had passed away today thur 17 2011, and we had to notifi everyone then go meet with bever boal; to get things lined up for Sunday 20 2011 for the funeral.it will be held at boal funeral home from 12until 2 and the the service afterwards, rev. Gary Morris.Well we got through the funeral ok every one said things where done just right and wecan thank BOAL funeral home for a job well done THEN ON WENSDAY I WENY TO THE WOUND CLINICIN CUMBERLAND ABOUT MY TOE AND FOUND A SEWING NEEDLE IN MY FOOT ABOUT 2 INCHES LONG THAT WILL HAVE TO BE CUT OUT. I did not know it was even in there, because of my nuropicy i can;t feal any thing in my feet. Needel was left in my foot,, doc said if it dont bother you will just leave it their, then things went along perty good for a while, the christian got sick again and they found out that he had the hopen cough of all things. But now they are giving him antibiodics that seems to help. Something happened in Febuary of 2012 that really surprized me, i have this beagle call Kista that i have used every male i have trying to get here pregnant for 9 years, So she came in heat and i throwed this young dog i bought on the way to michigan last september of 2011, his name is DOC and someway he got the job done, and she had 5 of the most butiful pups, that i have seen 4 females and 1 male, i am going to keep the male and the smallest female, she looks like her mom, her name will be kista no 2. I always wanted to be a mill worker when I grew up. My family and friends thought that was a good idea. As it turns out, they were right. Say a prayer, then take a walk Jesus, His ever lasting love forever My best friend would tell you I'm good, but people who don't know me very well would probably describe me as likable. I WISH I HAD EXCEPTED GOD AT A EARLY AGE When i went to school, I learned to respect the Bible, The American Flag, My Teachers and my school In the year 2013, a lot of things happened that affected my life, Back in April I talked to my cousin Fred in Leesburg V on a wendsday evening and he told me he would come up soon and help me get ready for are family reuion. .We where real close as cousins, more like brothers in fact, But on Friday morning the phone rang early, and the voice said Fred passed away, and that has had more effect on me then anyone knows. I just felt so alone and lost, We got ready and went down and went to the funeral home the next day and I could hardly handle going in that funeral home and see him laying up front, that I started to cry and cryed so much that I just could not cry any more, and to this day I still miss him so much and think of him a lot.Also I lost two other cousins this year Howard Bever from Buffalo NY, and Georgeanna Sheppard from Keyser WVa. Melissa and her family, Moved down next to Ocean City where Jed got a new job. I sure would like to hear from them, If they happen to read this, Daddy and Pap and Joyce said Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Love you my Girl. Daddy////////////? Well things started to happen, My lovely grand daughter got married to a young man from Charleston WVa, Then Luke and his wife Hanna from Pueblo Colorado ha a little girl called Anna Lease. Then along came Desi and Jeremy With a little girl we call B WHAT A TREAT. Well look out Austin and Heather had a little Girl Maddalin Rose, But she will be called Matty. Now Luke and Hanna are going to have a little boy in July.
