Fennely was born April 9th, 1930, near Cement, Oklahoma, in the small community of Rocky Ford to J.W. “Bill” and Elsie Huffine. He moved to Texas at an early age with his family. They settled near Olton, where they farmed. Fennely married Wanda Walker on Saturday July 18th, 1953 in Plainview Texas.

Fennely’s early career started in the 1940’s working at Case Tractor in Olton, Texas before moving to Plainview and working at John Speck’s machine shop and then as a mechanic on farm equipment. He worked at Tillerson-Fish International Tractors until it’s closure in the mid 1980’s and then he went to work for John Deere Equipment that later became Ray Lee Equipment. He worked for the Lee’s until his retirement. After retirement he could be found at his grandchildren’s sporting events and chauffeuring them around, from after school pick-ups to sports practice and games or trips to Dairy Queen. He also had a passion for antique tractors and collecting antique tools.

He was a devout Christian and had a love of his church and reading the Bible. He spent every Sunday, as long as he was able, as a door greeter and usher, always with a smile on his face and a pack of Certs in his shirt pocket for anyone that wanted one.
