I am a 70+ retired minister. I'm a June 1966 graduate of Bowling Green State University, Bowling Green, Ohio with a major in accounting and a minor in American history. I have an MBA from Lake Erie College, Painesville, Ohio which I received in December 1989. I have a diploma from Southern Baptist Theological Seminar Extension in March 1997. I was ordained in September 1997.

 

I worked for 29 years as an accountant with 20 of those years in hospitals and hospital related work. With the decline in population in the Cleveland area due to the closing of steel mills and other industry I worked in public accounting until I got my "fourth calling" to enter the Christian ministry. From a period of May 1994 through July 2001 I sold steel for two steel distributors in the Cleveland area getting downsized in June when I got my, "call" to serve as Pastor at a church located east of Cleveland. I

would serve that pulpit until my late wife Judy was approved for Social Security Disability in April 2011 retiring in May 2012. In May 2012 we moved to Anthem Arizona because of the dry air and because we had a couple from one of the churches I served as Pastor.

 

I was married to Judy Uher Cunningham until Friday, April 21 for nearly 47 years where she died at Honor Health-North Mountain Hospital in Phoenix, AZ from complications from pneumonia. Over a period of 12 years Judy had 14 surgeries including 4 back, 5 hip and one bone fusion surgery. She also suffered from arthritis, and was also diabetic. In April 2012 just as we were getting ready to move, she almost died from MRSA. Following her death, I placed our home in Anthem on the market selling the beginning of July. Moving the beginning of August I am now living in The Gardens which is located in Parrish, FL. The Gardens is a manufactured home community and is located just northeast of Bradenton, FL along the Gulf of Mexico coast.

 

I currently have living with me Roxie a 9 year old West Highland White Terrier and two kitties, Daisy and Dixie that Judy and I adopted from the Arizona Humane Society in June 2014 (they were 10 and 12 weeks old respectively) following the death Ryder a Norwich Terrier in April.
