Vietnam veteran shares memories WHAT'S YOUR STORY? By GINA KINSLOWGlasgow Daily Times After working for Motley for a while, Furlong switched jobs and went to work for RR Donnelley and Son. He has been with the company for 29 years and works in the shipping department.
“I have one of the better crews that work at Donnelleys,” he said. “I’m proud of my people.” He recommended one employee for a Presidential Citation this year. “He does things that other hoist operators won’t do,” Furlong said. “He can fill in for my spot or do whatever they need him to do.” When Furlong isn’t working, he’s spending quality time with his grandson, 2-year-old Jackson Lance Taylor. “I babysit him one or two days a week, whenever they’ll let me,” he said. “He’s well-mannered and does what Papa asks him to do.” Furlong has only one grandchild and one daughter, Tonya Renee Furlong. Furlong has been married twice. In addition to his daughter from his first marriage, he has a stepson, Andrew Guffey, who is a student at Western Kentucky University. One thing he says he would like to pass on to couples who may be going through a divorce, and that’s to always be friends. He and his first wife remained friends after their divorce, he said. “I’m proud of my family. They’ve all been saved. They are all good people,” he said. Furlong jokingly said he doubts he will ever really retire, because his wife has a honey-do list so long he’ll never be able to complete it. On a more serious note, he said, “I enjoy working and I can’t get out in the sun and work. I enjoy where I’m at.”
