About — Sparkie

I chose this song “One Boy”  by Joanne Sommers because of this verse

One day you’ll find out
This is what life is all about
You’ll need someone who
Is living just for you-ou.

I hope that I was that special boy for you because I was living just for you.

Joel Glen Buntley was born on September 13th, 1946, to Robert Lee Buntley and Alma Lou Troupe in Shelbyville Tennessee. He would be the first of two children. His younger brother Douglas Eilburn Buntley was born on August 14th, 1949.

Sparkie had 2 uncles and 3 aunts on his mother’s side, unfortunately, 2 of the aunts passed away at a very young age. His father was an only child.
