He was chaplain for William Key Correction Center in Fort Supply from March, 1990 to July, 1993. He was also volunteer chaplain for Grady County Sheriff’s Department and still serves as volunteer chaplain for Grady Memorial Hospital.

Elizabeth worked for Southwestern Bell Telephone Company in Oklahoma City and Fort Worth, Texas.  For the last 20 years, she has worked for Wal-Mart in Woodward and Chickasha.

The couple has two children: a son, John (J.D.) and his wife, Teila and a daughter, Amy and her husband, Dr. Joshua Briley. They  also have three grandchildren: Landon, Natalie and Loralei.
