Does heaven need pools? If they do, the best pool man I know is on the way.


Today, I have a heavy heart.  I found out that one of my favorite people passed away.

His name was Richard Parks and was affectionately called "The Pool Man."  A book should be written about him, and his animated personality that was displayed when he started selling you on his services as a pool builder.

The photo is a picture of Richard Parks and Tracey Lear. The picture  was taken a few summers ago.

He had a gleam in his eye and was so animated you never tired of hearing his sales pitch.  What makes this even sadder, just a few years ago, he found the love of his life with a beautiful widow named Tracey Lear.  They were so happy, and I am going to really miss him. I can tell you there are many interesting characters in Riding The Bull and he was one of my favorites.  I have a feeling there will be some new pools built in Heaven.  Rest in Peace "Pool Man."

Mickey said he was going to write a book about his life and I didn't think that much of it. Well, I was in for a big surprise.

The book is available on Amazon in both print and digital editions. Go to Amazon books and search on Mickey Murry.

Here is a review by a first reader.
 ------------------------

Hello, my name is Darell and I have lived in the same apartment complex as Mickey and Brenda for over 2 years. I watch him and Brenda walk Bo (their dog) and they are always very friendly. Mickey said he was going to write a book about his life and I didn't think that much of it. Well, I was in for a big surprise. I am amazed that someone of Mickey's caliber would even say hello to me. 
 
He is a very humble person. His book says it all and does an excellent job of it. In his book Riding the Bull he explains the highs and lows of his life and makes it so fascinating and interesting. I hated to put it down to do my daily chores. It makes you want to know what the next adventure is going to be like. I know Mickey really did and still does love all of his wives in a special way. He has every right to be proud of his children and their success. In his book you will ride with him in limos, helicopters, and jets. 
 
You will meet very distinguished people like Bob Hope, Joe Gibbs, Gerald Ford, and many others. My wife and I were wondering during many parts of the book how after building all those house's and mansions that he wound up in an apartment in the end. Well the way he puts the story together you will easily understand. I would and will highly recommend Riding the Bull to any and everyone I know and come in contact with. Brenda after meeting you as well, I am very proud to know you. 
 
Mickey you have a real winner here. Murry Homes was a winner but this time I predict you will not fall off this bull! Your Friends Darell and Tammy .

The bull is out of the chute.

Flash. We have jumped all the hurtles, crossed all the bridges, climbed all the mountains, traversed all the rivers, navigated the passage ways of the publishing industry and we have arrived at the finish line. The pre-purchased autographed copies will be sent out next week. 

Here are a few testimonials from early readers. There are more testimonials that I will be blogging on in the next few days. Also look for the Amazon announcement where you will be able to purchase print or digital copies for your iPad or Kindle.

And if you still wish an autographed copy, you can still purchase one at this blog.

"Put on your boots and get ready for a 220 volt ride. Right out of the chute from the first page to the last, once you are on the bull --it's hard to get off."


Dave Williams, successful builder and developer in Texas.

"A great ride from beginning to end- A great read."
