Bradley was a jack of all trades and, as he would say, a master of none. He worked most of his life as a dairy herdsman. He was a member of various car clubs. He loved his vintage cars!!! He also enjoyed music, fishing, and "real" camping.

Bradley was a funny guy who loved teasing his children by growling and snarling to make them screech and laugh. and appreciated time with his brothers and sister. He was an unselfish man. It was in his nature to stop and help people that had broken down on the road. He would literally give you the shirt off his back. Bradley enjoyed cooking and grilling for others. He could grill meat and taters like no other. If you needed a meal or a bed, his door was always open. Most of all, Bradley loved his children, his family, and especially time they spent together. He also loved picking on his baby sister.

Survivors include his fiance, Ashleigh Hays, Nevada; seven children, Amberley Ogle, Dakoda Ogle, Hunter Ogle, Aiva Ogle, Athena Ogle, Anthony Ogle, and Shay Ogle; mother,

Gerald (known to some as “Curly”) was born to Frederick and Ruby Duensing in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma on May 4, 1938.

A little over a year later, on June 23, 1956, Gerald and June were married and made their home outside of Clinton. Gerald then joined his father and uncles working for Peabody Coal where he would remain for 30 years until the Montrose mine closed. He finished out his working days at Tracker Marine in Clinton.

Gerald’s love of cars began at a young age, having overhauled his first engine by the time he was 14. He also loved John Deere tractors, Chief’s football, NASCAR, and classic country music. Gerald was active in his church, Trinity Lutheran of Clinton, where he served as head usher for many years.
