Gunky was born in Jackson, Ohio on 25 January 1947. His family moved to Columbus when he was a teenager where he graduated from Brook Haven High in Columbus, Ohio then joined the Air Force. He served four years including a tour in Vietnam as an a/c mechanic on the F4 Phantom. He left the military as a SSGT E5 and ended up in Key Largo in the early 70’s. After working in construction for a few years, he started his own business and began Keys Crane Service in 1972. He worked in the crane business with his longtime friend and business partner John Kuehl for over 40 years. Over the years, Gunky’s adventures included Airboating in the Everglades, mounting fish at “Trophy Master Marine Mounts,” and being a licensed gun dealer at “Gunky’s Guns and Ammo.” He also enjoyed blowing up fireworks, hunting at Brahma Island, jumping cars with the “Dukes of Key Largo”, commercial lobster fishing, racing swamp buggies with “G.O.F. Racing”, selling hot dogs on the sandbar on “Gunky’s Dog House”, and running a restaurant. He loved the open ocean and raised his girls in the Everglades. He finally retired three years ago.
