Steven Shipman McCarter
Steven -Steve- Shipman McCarter, 90, passed away peacefully at his home in Salinas, Calif., on
Sunday, Feb. 3, 2013. His final days were spent with loving wife, children and grandchildren by his side.
The McCarter family will be holding a private ceremony to honor Steve's life.
Steve was bom Dec. 21, 1922, in Boise to the late Claude and Julia McCarter. He
f w " grew up on the family ranch in Camas Prairie.
V
A, He graduated from Boise High School and attended Boise State University until
duty called in 1943. He enlisted and served in the 7th Army artillery unit during World
War II, where he earned two battle stars and several commendations for his service in England, France
and Germany.
Steve returned to France in 2006 where he received an honorary medal from the town of Sagy en
Vixen for his role in the liberation of France.
While serving in Paris, Steve was introduced to Renee "Monique' Linck, a Parisian woman who
became the love of his life. After the war ended, Steve promptly returned to Paris to find that his future
wife had been injured in a car accident. He nursed her back to health and they were married in Paris in
1946.
Monique arrived in the United States after the war ended, and met her eager husband at the train
station in Boise. Their lifelong adventure began in Idaho at a fire lookout station for the Forest Service.
Shortly thereafter, Steve moved his family to Salt Lake City where he attended the University of Utah,
earning a degree in pharmacy. Upon graduating, the family moved to Palo Alto and Steve began his
career as a pharmacist in San Francisco.
After feeling the calling in 1957, Steve moved the family one final time to Salinas where he and his
wife would open their first pharmacy in the Sherwood Gardens shopping center.
With business thriving at Sherwood, the pair expanded across the central coast, opening an additional
sic pharmacies: Star, Fairway, Hanks, East Lake, Medical and Prescription Pharmacy. The pharmacies
quickly became fixtures in the local community and served residents up until the last store's closing in
2012.
But Steve's contributions to the medical community extended far beyond the pharmacies. He served
as president of the American Cancer Society in Monterey County and was on the board of trustees for
the California Pharmacy Association where he was influential in passing legislation that made generic
drugs available to Californians. For his outstanding community service in pharmacy, Steve received the
prestigious Bowl of Hygeia award in 1972.
Steve was an adventurous spirit and had several passions outside of the medical field. Steve earned
his private pilot's license in 1965 and enjoyed flying every chance he could.
He loved his Piper Cherokee airplane, 877SM, and flew it from Florida to California and from the tip of
Baja California to Alaska. His love for flying never faded and 877SM carried him until his last solo flight
at the age of 80.
If Steve wasn't in the arc, he was in pursuit of trout somewhere in the streams of the Western United
States. His passion for fly - fishing began in his youth and continued throughout his entire life. With
Monique by his side, Steve traveled the world in search of the perfect stream, of which they found marry.
Steve spread his passion to all that surrounded him, teaching his children and grandchildren to love
nature and welcome all the adventure that comes with it.
Steve and his family enjoyed spending vacations in McCall.
He is survived by his wife, Monique McCarter; brother and sister -in -law, Don and Kay McCarter, son
and daughter -in -law, Duncan and Elizabeth McCarter; daughter and son -in -law, Michele and Philip
Lukas; son and daughter -in -law, Mark and Theresa McCarter; grandchildren, Brandon McCarter, Kindra
Reid, Alex Lukas, Jake McCarter, Renee Lukas, and Elise McCarter; great - grandchildren, Gavin
McCarter, Colby McCarter, Carter Reid, and Taylor Reid.
Any donations in Steve's name can be made out to the American Cancer Society or the American Red
Cross.

friend and constant companion
of 32 years. No matter what they
did, as long as they were together
it was a good time.

at her home, she always made it
special.
Robin reveled in the best life had
to offer; good food, goodfriends, and
good times. To her, if you had these
things, you were rich. Robin was
rich and everyone who knew her
was richer.
She was an exceptional person
andwasbeautiful inside and out and

Richard "Dick" Gregory McChrystal
Richard "Dick" Gregory McChrystal, 88, passed away peacefully on Saturday evening, Jan. 5, 2013 at
Marquis Care in Boise.
y Richard was bom June 25, 1924 in Tientsin, China, to Brig. Gen. Arthur McChrystal
and Marion Bliss McChrystal.
s� IL +
Richard spent his childhood years in San Francisco, Calif. He then initially attended
MIT, leaving to voluntarily enroll in World War II as an Air Force pilot. Captain
,1 McChrystal had the privilege to fly both P -38s and the P -51 Mustang.
His first mission in the war was as a bomber escort and served as ground support for the invasion of
Normandy. He served two tours of duty flying for the 8th Air Force, 479th Fighter Group, 434th Fighter
Squadron, 2nd Air Division.
Upon completion of his tours of combat duty, Richard had completed 71 combat missions and was
only one of three to survive from his squadron. Richard was decorated with The Air Medal 9 Oak Leaf
Clusters, the Distinguished Flying Cross for extraordinary achievement in aerial flights over enemy
occupied Continental Europe, and the European African Middle Eastern Ribbon with four Bronze Stars.
Richard humbly always said that he was never a good pilot, just a damn lucky one.
Richard met his first wife, Barbara Bledsoe, while training for the war in Arizona. After the war, the
couple moved to Stanford, Celd„ where Richard completed his college education and graduated with a
degree in bachelor of science. He used his education to focus on chemical engineering.
The couple went on to have three children, Karen Ann, Stephen Gregory and Marcia Corinne. Sadly,
his first love passed away in 1962.
On Sept. 21, 1963, Richard married Christine "Tina" Jonkowske in Los Angeles, Calif. Together they
traveled the world.
As an international executive, Richard and Tina settled in Frankfurt, Germany where in 1966 their son
Richard "Rich' John was born. Together the family moved several more times criss- crossing the world
living in Saudi Arabia, Washington D.C., San Francisco, Boise and eventually retiring to McCall.
Serving as Idaho Shakespeare Festival board president, Richard and Tina, as a festival trustee,
supported the festival during its toughest years, refusing to let its doors close.
Starving actors always had a place to call home during festival season as Dick and Tina welcomed
them into their home. Together they were instrumental in helping lead the festival to the success it is
now.
After retiring from Morrison Knudsen Co. Inc., Richard and Tina moved from Boise to McCall.
Richard served as chair of the McCall Planning and Zoning Commission from 1993 to 1998.
Their dream home showed Richard to also be an incredible craftsman. At nearly 70 years old, Richard
spent months installing beautiful hardwood floors, tile and a grand fireplace.
Richard also enjoyed politics, reading, attending Shakespeare plays, and sharing his knowledge of
foreign language. Richard also loved to drive across the country with Tina by his side. They would visit
friends from Oregon to Florida and back.
Richard's favorite times in McCall were going on his daily walks, an occasional game of golf or
racquetball and especially entertaining friends.
Richard's beloved Tina passed away in August 2005. At that time Richard's son, Rich moved him back
to Boise where he has been ever since.
Richard's final years at Marquis Care were full of love and devotion from the wonderful staff who also
knew him as "the cookie monster" for his love of treats.
Richard will be greatly missed for his warm gentle manner, his funny often naughty sense of humor,
and the ever present twinkle in his handsome blue eyes.
Richard is survived by his son, Rich and daughter in -law Pam of Boise; his son, Stephen and daughter
in -law Sharon of Phoenix, Ore.; his daughter, Karen McChrystal of California; his daughter, Marcia
Hummert McChrystal of Boise; sisters Elaine Knapp, and Terese Wright both of California, and four
grandchildren, Mark, Mike, Lynne and Rob.
Richard's place of interment will be next to his beloved wife Christine in McCall. May he finally be able
to trade "cookie for some nookie!"

SCOTT PATRICK MCCOY
Scott Patrick McCoy left us
unexpectedly Sunday April
26, 2009, appropriately while
playing sports.
Funeral services will be
held 4 p.m. Friday, May 1,
2009, at Our Lady of the Lake
Catholic Church in McCall. A
reception will be held after-
wards at Northfork Lodge in
the McCall RV Park.
He was : >.
born 1
hour and "
20 minutes
before his
twin brother,
Christopher
Ryan, on
June 9, 1988,
at McCall
Memorial
Hospital.
Scott was born and raised
in McCall and graduated
from McCall - Donnelly High
School.
From the third grade on
he was an avid football player,
first with Optimist, then later
lettering his last three years of
high school.
He had a very low tolerance
for bullies in sports as many
underclassmen could attest
to. He also lettered four times
as a varsity wrestler begin-
ning his freshman year; and
lettered in track, running the
200 and 800.
As if all the sports didn't
take enough effort, Scott
lettered in band every year
of high school as a clarinet
player, and took part in high
school plays, as well as com-
munity theatre productions.
Young Life was also an
important part of Scott's life,
attending youth group regu-
larly, and going to camp with
his local chapter. While all of
his activities may not have led
to Scott being valedictorian,
his teachers remember him
as a sweet, intelligent young
man.
It would be impossible to
remember Scott without pic-
turing his crazy hair, both on
head and face. He was born
with a prominent cowlick,
which mayhave come in handy
for telling him and Chris
apart, but proved difficult for
styling. Then puberty hit, and
with it the goatee that would
never leave his chin, no mat-
ter how much we may have
teased him.
Scott Patrick McCoy was a
kind, loving young man, born
without a mean bone in his
body and was loved and will
be missed by many.
He lived out loud and he
laughed a lot!
Scott is survived by his
mother Debbie, father Mike,
older brother Tim and wife
Stephanie, older sister Jessie,
barely younger twin brother
Chris, grandmother Harriett
McCoy, grandmotherJohanna
Bartlett, nephew Joey, and
lots of uncles, aunts, and
cousins.
There are really too many
people who loved and were

ing them to grow and become
independent adults. Sharon
impacted more people self-
lessly than can be listed here.
Sharon had empathy for
anyone that she met. Giving
of herself to make another's
life better and easier was her
reward.
Children held a special
place in Sharon's heart. From
owning a day care to teach-
ing and forming a bible day
camp, children were Sharon's
passion. She was never more
alive than when she was sur-
roundedby children, listening
and learning, singing and
playing.
Sharon is survived by
her husband, Tim; two sons,
Ron and Paul; two daughters,
Tammy and Shelby; two sis-
ters, Debbie and Nancy; two
brothers, Dan and Doug; and
a passel of nieces, nephews,
and grandchildren.
I thank God each day for
giving me my soul mate and
best friend. Sharon grew me
up also. If any feel led, please
donate to your local children's
program in her name.

So He put His arms around you,
and whispered `Come to Me.'

Although we loved you dearly
We could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating
Hard - working hands at rest,
God broke our hearts
to prove to us
He only takes the best."

The Lord is my shepherd;
I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down
in green pastures:
He leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul:
He leadeth me in the paths of
righteousness for His name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley
of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil: for Thou art with me.
Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the
presence of mine enemies:
Thou anointest my head with oil;
My cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow
me all the days of my life:
And I will dwell in the house of the
Lord for ever.

"OUR PRIVILEGE"
It is our privilege each day to share
This earth, its bounty, and friendships rare.
To experience the dawn with its promise of light,
The midday splendor so bold and bright.
To grow in the comfort of shelter and love,
Giving praise for our blessings to God above.
To suffer life's hardships, its pain and tears,
Yet grow in compassion and grace with the years.
To know as the evening shadows appear
The warmth of a home with family near.
To close the day with a well- deserved rest
Knowing you've given to life your best.
And, though we regret that the spent day is gone,
We rest with assurance a new day will dawn.

Dorothy Alice McDowell, 84,
of Boise, died on Saturday, April

Boise. Rev.
Steve Tollefson

A I d e n
Waggoner
Funeral Chap-
el, Boise.
Dorothy was born on March
11, 1918 in Idaho the
"Ft—
daughter of arvey and Jean_
(Baird) Hahn. She attended the
College of Idaho (now Albertson
College). She married George
McDowell on February 11, 1939
in Nampa. The couple resided
mainly in the Treasure Valley
area their entire life. She was a
supportive wife and mother first
and foremost also extremely
active in the Republican Party
during the 60's acting then as
President of the Idaho Women's
Republican Party. As a young
child she played concert violin
and later in life enjoyed sewing.
She loved music and dancing and
she and her husband were often
the first couple on the dance
floor.
"A wife, mother and friend"
It seems that the measure of
one's life has very little to do with
where they were born, lived, and
worked. It has to do with the kind
of person they were. It has to do
with not only the triumphs of our
lives but mistakes we make along
the way. Maybe life has even
more to do with the mistakes we
Stafe �aVK ar
rnaKe ... as it seems that from our
mistakes the greatest lessons are
learned. Certainly our mother's
life story, with its accomplish-
ments and defeats alike, will not
be placed in history books for
posterity. It was simply a life, lived
the best way she knew. The les-
sons and examples she taught
her family will be imbedded into
our hearts, minds and souls for-
ever. Our father said mother
always told him, "Together honey,
we can accomplish anything."
Indeed, together they did accom-
plish all they set out to achieve.
As a wife she was always a help-
mate, a guiding force, a sounding
board, a critic, and a committed
loyal partner.
As a mother she taught her chil-
dren appreciation of the value of
a loyal friend by the example she
set. She taught her children to
strive to be the best they could
be. She gave of herself, even
when she was tired or too sick to
give, but always tried to help, if
she thought it could make her
children's lives better. She was a
wife, mother, and grandmother
that her entire family can love and
appreciate.
Survivors include her hus-
band, George McDowell; daugh-
ter, Georganne Price and her
husband, Keith Price; daughter,
Debra Beckley; granddaughters,
Kendall Nielson and her husband,
Mark, Kimberly Slifer and Erin
Beckley; grandsons, Jeffrey Slifer
and Scott Tom; and great -
grandchildren, Taylor, Nena, and
Lilly. She was preceded in death
by her parents and her sister
Edna Freeman.

this world with a fighting spirit, weigh-
ing just over two pounds at birth. He
spent his early childhood on a farm
near the Malheur River in Oregon.
During his teen -age years, his family
moved to Nampa, Idaho. It was there
he excelled academically and was

junior and senior years of high school.
He then went on to Boise State Uni-
versity, where he was selected to rep-
resent BSU at the Model United Na-
tions, a collegiate competition. He
was a member of Kappa Sigma frater-
nity, where he developed many life-
long friendships. During his college
years Richard joined the Marines and

al years. He graduated from BSU in
1971 with a B.S. in political science.
After graduating, he obtained a posi-
tion of assistant manager at Idaho

attended law school at the University
of Idaho. In 1974 he completed a sec-
ond degree in business finance.
Richard then went to work fo

Robert J. McKenna
Robert J. McKenna, 75, of McCall, passed away Tuesday, May 1, 2012, in Boise after a two year
battle with ALS.
In celebration of his fife, on Saturday, May 19, an Irish Wake will be held at 4 p.m. at Shore
Lodge in McCall.
Bob was bom Sept. 23,1936, in San Diego, Calif. He was the son of Ted and Grace
McKenna. After graduating from La Jolla High in 1954, he served four years in the U. S. Coast
Guard.
In 1971, he married Kay, and during their years in San Diego, they enjoyed many activities that
included diving for abalone, motorcycle riding in the desert, waterskiing at the Colorado River and
camping in Baja. Bob even climbed Mt. Whitney as a young adult.
Leaving behind close friends and family in 1978, Bob and his family moved to McCall. During his years
in McCall, when he wasn't working, he could be found skiing, playing tennis, racquetball, golfing and
even going to church in his later years.
He so enjoyed McCall and the surrounding area whether he was spending time at North Beach with
friends or fishing with buddies. He also had a great passion for reading and never stopped learning.
He worked many years in the lumber business and in the trades where he made some of his closest
friends. In the latter part of his working career he took a lot of pride in being part of the remodel of the
Shore Lodge and development of the Whitetail Golf Course.
Bob had some very close friends that meant so much to him. People that he worked with, people that
he worked for and people he recreated with. Those people were so very important to him and we know
that he was eternally grateful for you being a part of his life.
Our family is so thankful for the people who have reached out to us and the medical support and
treatment Bob received throughout his illness.
Bob is survived by his wife Kay McKenna of McCall; daughter Debbie Inman and her husband John of
Campo, Calif.; daughter Lisa Whitaker and her husband Greg of San Diego, Calif., son Todd McKenna
and his wife Cindy of McCall; sister Sharon Hollenbeck and her husband Dennis of San Diego, Calif.,

Ronald Roy McKenzie
Ronald Roy McKenzie, 64, of Donnelly, after a hard - fought battle with cancer, let go of this life on May
11, 2012, with his daughters by his side. He was currently residing in the Idaho State Veteran's Home in
Boise. Services wig be held on Sunday, May 20 at 2:00 p.m. at the Finn Church on the Farm to Market
Road, McCall, Idaho, with interment in the Finn Cemetery beside the Church.
Ron was bom on October 2, 1947, the first of three children of
«oQ•„ Delmer & Inez (Lehti) McKenzie. He was raised in Donnelly,
Idaho; attended schools there and in McCall and graduated from
Donnelly - McCall High School in 1965, where he participated in
Boys Club, Chorus and excelled in Track in the short distance
(100 yd. dash, 440 relay, etc.)
Growing up in Donnelly provided an idyllic childhood. He and
r� his brother, Ralph, and their friends enjoyed fishing, exploring
tl iir;r Valley County, swimming in the Cascade Reservoir, cross -
country skiing, ice skating, hooky - bobbing, camping, hiking,
water- skiing and hunting. They attended Donnelly Bible Church activities, Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts and
Joni Fields' teen singing group. They rode horses, bicycles, and motorcycles before graduating to boats
and cars. Ron liked to build things --toy boats, car models, bridges over the surrounding streams, rafts
for floating in Boulder Creek and a two- seater snow sled with a steering mechanism that was towed by
his Mom for many miles behind the car on Valley County roads.
Ron attended Link's Business School in Boise after High School and then joined the Navy Reserves in
December 1966. He worked for the U.S. Forest Service and Valley County Road Maintenance before
going active duty in the Navy from April 1968 until January 1970. Machinist Mate Third Class McKenzie
worked to keep the main refrigeration & air conditioning plant of the U.S.S. Kearsarge Aircraft Carrier
operating smoothy. Besides sub chasing off the coast of Vietnam, ports of call included Hawaii, Hong
Kong, China, Japan and the Philippines.
Upon discharge from the Navy, Ron went to work for Bob Bete Ford in Cascade, thus indulging his
life -long love affair with Ford Motor Company! After building his first engine in the house while in high
school and having his sister mark off the increments on his homemade micrometer, Ron read, studied,
took classes and collected anything to do with Fords. He never ran across a Ford piece, part or body
that was unworthy of his collection, and could answer almost any question posed to him, or, at the very
least, could reference the information. He could discourse for hours on the 390 Ford engine (or any
other). His passing removes an almost encyclopedic knowledge of Ford engines from this earth.
In April 1975 he and Barbara Weeks were married in Cascade. From this union came Ron's greatest
treasures, his twin daughters, Valerie JoAnne and Veronica Marie, born on August 13, 1976. Ron and
Barbara were later divorced and Ron conckided his working career with many years as a mechanic for
Ikola Logging in McCall.
In spite of life's curves and traumas, Ron's optimistic nature always rebounded. He had a big heart for
people and always trusted a person's word, perhaps because he was always honest with others. He
loved his family and friends, especially his beautiful daughters.
'Ronnie Boy' leaves a void in our family. We will miss his smile, his hugs, his optimism, his knowledge
and his healthy appetite at family dinners .
He is survived by his daughters, Valerie (Shane) Hertel of Boise, Veronica (Matt) Naumann of
Meridian; step - granddaughters Jacquelynn and Hayley Hertel; grandson Tucker Naumann; his mother,
Inez McKenzie of Donnelly; his brother, Ralph (Rhonda) McKenzie of McCall; his sister, Sylvia (Ken)
Tinsley of New Meadows; two nieces, three nephews and several special cousins.
He was preceded in death by his dad, Delmer McKenzie in a logging accident in 1951 and a close
uncle, Alvin Leaf in 2006-
Thank you is so inadequate for the care and concern Ron received from the staff and doctors of the
V.A. Hospital and Idaho State Veteran's Home in Boise. The staff gave Ron excellent care, allowed him
his dignity under extremely difficult circumstances and became like family.

his country, hunting, fishing,
woodworking, his cabin in McCall,
Louis L'Amour, Grenn'Nlilfer and
golf, not necessarily in that order.
Golf may have been much further
up the list.
Goodbye Dad. We will miss

Janet Thurston McMahan
Janet McMahan, 81, formerly of McCall, passed away peacefully at her Boise home on Oct. 14, 2012
with her children and sister at her side.
A memorial service will be held at 10:30 a.m. on Thursday, October 18, at the Alden -
Waggoner Funeral Chapel, 5400 Fairview Avenue in Boise. Private interment will take place at
the Council cemetery.
Janet Frances Thurston was born Jan. 2, 1931 in Denver, Colo., to Dr- Alvin S. Thurston and
Mary Planert Thurston.
it Her father was completing a medical residency in that city prior to settling in Council, where he
was the sole practicing physician for many years.
Her parents placed a high value on quality education, and because of that, sent Jan to complete
secondary school at Boise High School, and then to Stanford University, where she received a
bachelor's degree in biology in 1952. She then worked in San Francisco as a medical technician for
severalyears
-
Jan married Donald McMahan on Nov. 24, 1956 in McCall. His family operated a ranch in Fruitvale,
and the McMahans and McDowells were among the pioneers who settled Council, Fruitvale and Indian
Valley in the 1800s.
After marriage, Jan and Don lived in San Francisco but returned to live in Fruitvale in 1958 after the
birth of the first of their four children. They raised cattle and lived the ranch and farm life for the next
decade in the Council Valley, then moved to McCall in 1968 to take ownership of the Payette Lakes Star
and the Cascade News, which they later combined into The Star -News.
They lived and breathed the newspaper business and a title insurance concern for the next 14 years
before retiring to Riggins.
Jan and Don loved their retirement life together, which they divided between their home on the Salmon
River and their snowbird haven in Yuma, Ariz., along with frequent fishing trips to the Oregon and
Washington coasts and visits to their children and grandchildren in California and elsewhere.
After Don suffered a debilitating stroke in 2004, they gave up travelling to live full -time in Riggins, and
Jan continued to live there alone after her husband's death in 2007. With her health in decline, she
reluctantly agreed to move to Boise in 2011 to share a home with her eldest son.
Jan loved the outdoors and especially enjoyed the natural beauty of Idaho's mountains, lakes and
rivers. Even with the demands of running two businesses and a busy household in McCall, the family
always found time to take camping trips into the back country and to enjoy skiing at Brundage and the
Little Hill.
She treasured spending time with family and close friends and she placed a high value on the
characteristics of self- reliance, loyalty and independent thinking.
Jan is survived by her sister, Sally Clark of Boise, son Kevin McMahan, also of Boise, daughter Kerrin
McMahan of Los Angeles, son Scott (Janie) McMahan of Nordland, Wash., and four grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by her son Jonathan in 1982 and her husband Donald in 2007.
The family suggests that in lieu of flowers donations be made in her name to the City of Riggins

Lt. Col.
John Albert McMaho)i
Lt. Col. John Albert McMahon,
U.S. Army (Ret.), passed away
peacefully the evening of Friday,
i April 20, 2001, with his loving
family and car -
egivers at his
side.
He was
born Aug. 15,
1921, at Idaho__°
Falls, to Clara
Alice and John
Francis Mct
hon. Our dad
and mom's
(Dorothy's)
husband was devoted to his fami-
ly. He cared deeply about every-
thing we did.
From the earliest days of his
childhood, in Boise, Dad wanted
to be a soldier. He became a Boy
Scout, attending the National
Jamboree in 1935 and was com-
mander of his ROTC unit at Boise
High School and even served a
brief period in the Idaho National
Guard; the cavalry (of course).
Dad became an Eagle Scout. He
played the piano in numerous
recitals in Boise and loved music
of all kinds especially Viennese
waltzes and Hungarian
rhapsodies.
After graduating with honors
from Boise High School in 1939
he attended the University of
Idaho and became a member of
Phi Delta Theta fraternity. Always,
Dad kept his eye on the prize - a
career in the U.S. Army. He
attended the Command & Gen-
eral Staff College, Fort Leaven-
worth, Kan., in 1959, and did also
receive his degree in criminology
from University of California at
Berkeley in 1953. About the time
of Pearl Harbor, and before he
graduated from college, Dad
"managed" to get his longtime
mentor Col. John M. Pitzer and a
few other officers to intercede on
his behalf to get him commis-
sioned in the regular Army. His
first assignment was at the War
Department in Washington, D.C.
Meanwhile though, he had
met our mother Dorothy (Erick-
son) at the Tri Delt house at the U
of I, and persuaded her to join
him in Washington. They were
married on Aug. 22, 1942. Two of
his boys John and Patrick were
born in salt LaKe City on Jan. 15,
and Dec. 29, 1944, respectively!
On May 5, 1948, Kathleen was
born and on Aug. 12, 1952,
Michael was born, both in San
Francisco.
Mike missed our adventures in
Oberammergau, Germany - fall
1948 to spring 1952, but after he
came along, all of us dutifully,
and with great fun and anticipa-
i tion, followed our dad to numer-
ous "stateside" assignments and
overseas. We lived in Taiwan,
where Dad served as chief mili-
tary advisor for Air Defense Artil-
lery. Later we moved to Japan,
where Dad was the chief person -
nel officer to the Army at Camp
j Zama. All together we saw "ac-
tion" at 12 different duty stations
up to the time of Dad's last
assignment as S3 (Operations)
and later commander of the 40th
Air Defense Artillery Brigade at
the Presidio of San Francisco.
Dad retired from the Army in
December 1963 and handled
worker's compensation claims for
the state of California. He
became an insurance and real
estate broker. In a great melding
of second career opportunities,
which he pursued with excel-
lence, Dad served for 26 years
with the Lockheed Missiles and
Space Co. out of Sunnyvale,
Calif. In that time, he and Mom
did a "tour of duty" in Saudi Ara-
bia. There seemed to be no end
to the many interesting and highly
rewarding adventures in which
Dad and Mom, and all of us "kids"
shared!
Dad was interested in every-
thing, especially in all the things
our family and friends were doing.
He encouraged us and gave
superb advice, and managed to
sublimate his own preferences for
us, on some of the schemes we
undertook. Dad let us grow to be
self- sufficient individuals, much
like him. He was very intelligent,
even enough so, that in the last
years he was able to give many
diverse points of view the benefit
of the doubt.
Dad especially loved Idaho
He was a proud Son of Pioneers
which included his Grandmother
and Grandfather Wipperman, his
Grandmother and Grandfather
Patrick Henry McMahon. Dad
dearly loved and missed his
father John Francis McMahon
(died 1952) whom he often
helped at the McMahon Drug-
store. He was devoted to his
mother Clara Alice. Even he, like
all of us, called her "Nana." He
missed them both terribly, and his
brother Bill - constant boyhood
companion. Through the last
days of his life, Dad cherished his
sister Carmelyn and her husband
Dan Johnson from whom he often
sought counsel. He loved and
admired his "little" brother David,
and missed not knowing him bet-
ter. All said and done, everyone
who knew Dad knows that he
stood up for high principles, and
could always be counted on for
help and support. Dad knew his
treasure - all of us who survive
him. We shall miss him very
much, but will keep him tenderly
in our hearts.
Dad is survived by his sweet-
heart of 56 years, Dorothy of Boi-
se; his son, John and his sweet-
heart, Yung of Boise; his son,
Patrick, M.D., of Savannah. Ga.;
his daughter, Kathy and her hus-
band, Ed Adamek of Cocoa
Beach, Fla.; and his son, Mike of
Santa Cruz, Calif. He was proud
granddad to Steven L. McMahon
and great - granddad to Steven
and Angie's daughter, Midnight
Nichole, of Tacoma, Wash. His
sister, Carmelyn, and brother,
David, also survive him, along
with their tremendous families. He
had many nieces and nephews,
all of whom he enjoyed
immensely!
Viewing will be held today,
Monday, April 23, from noon until
6 p.m. at the Cloverdale Funeral
Home, 1200 N. Cloverdale Road.
Graveside services will be
conducted by Father Riffle at 3
p.m. Tuesday, April 24, at Morris
Hill Cemetery. A reception will fol-
low at the home of Carmelyn and
Dan Johnson.
The family is very grateful to
Carmen and Eugenio Roman and
their daughters Matilda and Chris-
tina who provided tender and lov-
ing care to Dad, and who con-
tinue to watch over Mom. We also
thank Dad and Mom's many
friends who looked in on them
and numerous special angels in
our neighborhood and from Holy
Rosary Catholic Church.

Jerry McManus
For 27 years Jerry McManus has loved living in the natural beauty of Idaho. Flying, Snowmobiling,
four - wheeling, and taking in the beauty of the state with thousands of pictures.
On July 4, he left Idaho and this life earlier than expected at the age of 79 with many
projects left to do and people to meet. He was always busy and optimistic and embraced life
j with enthusiasm and generosity.
He grew up in Dixon, Wyo., farming, stacking hay, and reading books with a flash light at
�I night under the covers. During those years he came down with rheumatic fever which affected
his heart and though told not to run, he characteristically did it anyway. Life was meant to be lived.
From there he went to Campion academy (1956) where as editor for the school paper he interviewed
Eleanor Roosevelt. At Union College in Lincoln, Neb., (1963) he received a B.S. in chemistry.
He took a few years off from school to pay tuition, rebuild his Triumph convertible, study chess and
play go, before starting Loma Linda University School of Medicine (1967). It was there, he met and
married his first wife, Joella Anderson, while running between classes.
In 1972 he graduated from the University of Texas Galveston Medical Branch with a specialty in
orthopaedic surgery and became a father to Mark McManus.
As an orthopaedic surgeon he began his career at Rancho Los Amigos Medical center (1973) and
Long Beach Naval Station (1974), with the reserve rank of lieutenant commander, where he worked on
stroke rehabilitation therapies.
He started the stroke rehabilitation service at Loma Linda Medical Center and began a thriving
orthopaedic practice in 1978 with an emphasis on sports medicine.
During this time he was also part of the MUMPS Development Committee, a medical programming
language used to access medical records, which ignited a lifelong passion for programming.
In 1983 he married his second wife of 33 years, Julieta Sakdana, and gained her son Anthony Rozales.
In 1988 he visited McCall and promptly fell in love with the beauty of the wilderness and place. The
following year he left city life, relocating his practice, wife, and mother to McCall to enjoy a life in the
country.
Then began his most fulfilling years when he was a flying doctor serving McCall Memorial, Grangeville
Syringa, and Weiser Memorial hospitals adding orthopaedic surgery to their range of care. He enjoyed
going out and getting to know the people of this region and helping them heal.
He retired from surgery in 2003 to build a house on the Salmon River in White Bird, where he would
garden, drill for water, and spend time in a close knit community reminiscent of Dixon, Wyo.
He spent winters in Arizona with his wife, Julie. Up until his death he remained active with projects and
keeping in touch with family and friends. One his last projects was building walking bridges with hand -
hewn logs and the help of his four - wheeling and snowmobiling buddies on his parkland property in
McCall. Building bridges between people and new places were keystones of his life.
He is survived by his wife Julie, sister Cathy (Gage), sons Mark and Tony, and grandchildren Andrew,
Ace, Ava, Lily, Namiko, and Ella.
He was preceded in death by his parents John Verle McManus and Mildred Lily Pankey McManus.
Services will be held at the McCall Seventh Day Adventist Church at 2 p.m. on Saturday July 16,

Dick was a very honest, genuine,

ever compare to his worth, caring, and
truly genuine, honorable disposition.

Death: WIIIIam C. McMurray, Jr.
Bill McMurray passed away comfortably surrounded by family and friends (and his dogs) on March 17,
2016, at St. Luke's McCall hospital after a year -long battle with cancer. Bill had Hodgkins Lymphoma
when he was 20 years old, and was thankful for the additional 42 years he lived to the fullest.
4L1 Tft?&N47, Wj Bill graduated from San Jose State and had a career in sailing and yacht sales, and
r'
later real estate, in Santa Cruz. He was an active and accomplished sailor.
From small boats to ocean racers, from day sailing in Santa Cruz to surfing down
the big Pacific swells racing to Hawaii, from national championships in Lake Tahoe to
R cruising with friends in the Med, from full on competition at the Olympic Trials, to
cruising the Mexican coast, to the fun times at Wednesday eve beer can races, he
was excellent as a helmsman, advanced as a seaman, and delightful as a member of
the crew. The races he won were, of course, important, but what really mattered to
him was being out on the water with his friends.
After coming to Sun Valley to ski for several years, he learned to love the state and
moved in 1993 to become involved in real estate in Boise. He moved to McCall in 1996.
Bill really loved McCall. Over the years, he was active as a board member of the McCall Chamber of
Commerce, the Payette Land Trust, and the Mountain Central Board of Realtors.
Bill approached life calmly and thoughtfully, even when it became difficult or chaotic. He was an
eloquent speaker. He was a mentor and leader in the real estate community, especially with his own
brokerage at Community Real Estate.
Bill also loved riding motorcycles and outdoor adventure in the mountains of Idaho and the Utah desert
with his close friends. One of his prized skills was to make a one -pot meal on the back of his motorcycle.
When he could not ride anymore, he graduated to being the sag wagon in his Land Rover, which he
drove with the same exhilaration that he rode his motorcycle.
He loved wine tasting in California, Walla Walla and the Jug Mountain Ranch neighborhood, and
somehow succeeded in winning more than his share of blind tastings.
Bill is dearly missed by his wife, Kate McMurray, his sons Jeff (and Kirsten) Wallace and Jason (and
Monica) Wallace, and his grandchildren Ian and Luke Wallace, and Archer and Matti Wallace, and his
beloved red dogs, Ginger and Rusty, Jeff the cat, and countless friends and colleagues.
A celebration of Bill's life will be held in June In Santa Cruz and at Jug Mountain Ranch in July

Our papa was a good, kind, loving
man. His wisdom was a shining guide
for his whole family. He was a wonder-
ful storyteller of his early life in the

Crossing the Bar
Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for me,
And may there be no moaning of the bar,
When I put out to sea.
But such a tide as moving seems asleep,
Too full for sound and foam,
When that which drew from out the
boundless deep
Turns again home.
Twilight and evening bell,
And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness of farewell,
When I embark;
For tho' from out our bourne of time and
place
The flood may bear me far,
I hope to see my Pilot face to face
When I have crossed the bar.

and affection of children;

to find the best in others;
