FOOTPRINTS
One night a man had a dream. He dreamed
he was waltzing along the beach with the
LORD. Across the sky flashed scenes from his
life. For each scene, he noticed two sets of
footprints in the sand; one belonging to him,
and the other to the LORD.
When the last scene of his life flashed
before him, he looked back at the footprints in
the sand. He noticed that many times along the
path of his life there was only one set of
footprints. He also noticed that it happened in
the very lowest and saddest times in his life.
This really bothered him and he questioned
the LORD about it. "LORD, you said that once
I decided to follow you, you'd waltz with me all
the way. But I have noticed that during the
most troublesome times in my life, there is only
one set of footprints. I don't understand why
when I needed you most you would leave me."
The LORD replied, "My precious, precious
child, I love you and I would never leave you.
During your times of trial and suffering, when
you see only one set of footprints, it was then
that I carried you."

Marion Patoray
Marion Patoray, 89, passed away Sept. 8, 2012, following a brief illness, knowing without a doubt how
much she was cherished by her loved ones.
A family service will be held this fall with her remains being inumed in the beautiful Meadows
Valley Cemetery.
Marion was born an identical twin, with Marcia (LaFay) Wilson in Meadows, to a ranch family
with rich history dating back to the settlement days of New Meadows Valley.
She was born at their ranch on Cemetery Road to James A. (Dick) and Marie Wilson,
delivered by her grandmother Leota Becker.
With their older sister Margaret (Percifield) Wilson, the twins travelled with their parents to winter and
attend school in Long Beach, Calif., Grangeville, and Lewiston and escape the harsh New Meadows
winters.
Marion's memories of the ranch life were vivid, recalling summers spent at local family ranch rodeos,
eating and dancing with Basque families that came to the ranch to graze sheep, and of travelling farm
families that came up from California to raise peas, potatoes and strawberries on the families'
land. Summer's work ended with celebration at Burgdorf Hot Springs.
Marion's first marriage to Glenn Anderson ended in divorce, but during their time together they owned
and operated the Rodeo Club Restaurant in Riggins and later lived in the Seattle area during the war.
They had two sons. Robert Lee Anderson and his wife Carla live in Moses Lake, Wash. Their son,
James Charles, died in 1990.
She later married Michael Pat Patoray, and together they operated Casey's Corral in New Meadows, a
western dance hall. In 1960 they moved to Lewiston and in 1963 opened Casey's, a rock- and -roll dance
hall that encouraged a great movement of local musicians during the 1960s and early 1970s. Marion
and Pat had two children. Their son, Casey Patoray, and his wife Patty reside in Grangeville, and their
daughter April Patoray - Smith, lives in Lewiston.
When their marriage ended in divorce in 1972, Marion returned to New Meadows and began her much
loved career at Shore Lodge in McCall, working under chef Ozzie, until retiring after 26 years.
Along with other family members she provided care and comfort to her parents, which allowed them to
live their entire lives in the family ranch home.
Marion was curious and independent with a great sense of humor, and any time spent with her is to be
treasured. Her caregivers of the last few weeks fell fast in love with her and we are all blessed to have
had her with us for so long.
Along with her sons and daughter, she is survived by grandchildren Lisa Lee, Dina Cay, Bobbi Jo,
James Charles, Ursula Dawn, Michael Shane, Stephanie, Jennifer, Aaron, Guy and 12 great -
grandchildren.

Brent Owen Patrick
Brent Owen Patrick's life ended un-
expectedly, June 9, 1997, after a
weekend of fish-
ing and flying. He
was 43 and from
McCall, Idaho.
Words cannot
describe the im-
pact he had on
those fortunate
enough to meet
him; how deeply
he is loved and re-
membered. His
great sense of
humor and practical jokes will be
missed by all. Brent taught others to
laugh with the world, and often, at
themselves. As willing as he was to
laugh, he was also more than willing to
help others. He was always fixing
plumbing, butchering livestock, help-
ing friends move, or talking on the
phone to brighten a friend's day. Brent
loved people and life. He was a talent-
ed (a ruthless) game player; as one
played rummy, chess, or croquet with
him, laughter filled the room. This joy
often camouflaged the concentration
of competitors, for he always played to
win (unless his opponent was young
or clever enough to make up the rules
as they went along.) Brentsnowskied,
water skied, hiked, juggled and was
an avid hunter and fisherman. There
were few things he wasn't willing to try.
He was a loving father who coached
soccer 6 years for CYSA and was al-
ways there for his children who loved
him very much. He was also a Mason
in the Capitol City Lodge in Boise.
Brent began his career with Idaho
Power in 1974, and was always a man
who worked very hard for his family,
friends, and company. Beginning with
mobile crew as a lineman working
transmission lines, he became one of
the first men at IPCO.to learn live -line
barehand work. He loved to tell any-
one who would listen about his two
phobias in life— height and electricity.
After working as a lineman on the Di-
vision Line Crew, and then as a trou-
bleman in Boise, Brent became a
linecrew foreman in McCall, Idaho.
Brent loved his work, saying that
"everyday he learned something new
and was faced with a different chal-
lenge ". He loved McCall and its peo-
_ple and his friends at IPCO will cer-
tainly miss his skill, leadership, and of
;.course his mischieviousness and
sense of humor. As the saying goes,
"he never met a stranger ".
Brent was born Nov. 3, 1953, in
Boise, Idaho. He married his high
school sweetheart Cheryl (Cherie)
Josephson on Jan. 15,1975. He was a
protective, loving, and proud father to
his daughter Kelly and son Kasey, and
a wonderful husband.
He is missed by his best friend and
wife, Cherie; and daughter, Kelly
Quinn (or KO as he affectionately
called her); his parents -in -law, Eva
and Dale Josephson of Boise; his
mother, Lavada Shaw and stepfather,
Bill Shaw of Sanford, NC; sister and
brother -in -law, Jody and Gene Keye,
of Apex, NC; sister Gina Wolff of Holly
Springs, NC; brother and sister -in-
law, Bert and Robin Patrick of Cald-
well, Idaho; brother and sister -in -law,
Scott and Bonnie Patrick of Boise,
Idaho; his brother -in -law, Daren
Josephson of Boise; his brother-in-
law and sister-in-law, Randy and Joan
Josephson; and numerous nieces
and nephews. He was preceded in
death by his father, Leland W. Patrick.
Brent's son and inseparable buddy,
Kasey, joins him in his final resting
place, the mountains of McCall, a
place they both loved.
The family asks that contributions
be sent to the Kelly Patrick Scholar-
ship Fund through any U.S. Bank.
A memorial service will be held at 1
p.m. today, Friday, June 13, 1997, at
the Donnelly /McCall High School.

Kasey WePetrick
Kasey Cole Patrick, 14, McCall died
unexpectedly on June 9,1997, after a
fishing trip to
Montana.
Kasey Cole
was born on Au-
gust 7, 1982, in
Boise to Brent
and Cheryl .'
Patrick. He lived
in and attended
schools in Meridi-
an until moving to
McCall in 1993.
Kasey was born
an angel who touched the lives of
every person around him. He taught
his friends to laugh and to love. He
taught his family to giggle and to pos-
sess patience. His ever sparkling
smile and deepening voice bright-
ened any room in which he entered.
Kasey possessed apassion for life. He
was an outstanding student and musi-
cian who was liked by all who met him.
He played soccer_ for 6 years and con-
tinually strove to play his best. Kasiay
was also a budding marksman who,
much to his father's dismay, often Ot-
shot his favorite hunting buddy. Per-
fection was importantto Kasey and he
babied bicycles and skis with t1 e
same tender love he gave to his family
and friends. Kasey adored people; but
when alone he would watch his'fa-
vorite movies for company.
Simultaneously, he would strive to
memorize the actions, accents, and
antics of numerous actors, punch-
IJJha
lines, quips, ana quotes. Everyday he
would laugh, and with his family's full
attention, recite Blinkin's cockney
words from Men In Tights, or coyly slip
his arm around his sister and in a
sleazy French accent reenact an Ar-
mani jerk from French Kiss. As a 4pn
and friend, Kasey was the "best ", and
as a person he was pretty close. �is
kindness and joy will be missed by all
who loved him.Yet we may live to cher-
ish the happiness, jokes, and friend-
ship that Kasey gave to us.
Kasey is missed by his mother,

David Lyle Paulson
David Lyle Paulson, known as "Cactus" to his friends and family, died Saturday, Jan. 31, 2015 at St.
Luke's Hospital after a brief illness at the age of 83.
There will be a celebration of David's life in McCall this summer, The Cactus Open, date to
be announced.
David was born Sept. 6, 1931 in Twin Falls. His parents were George and Billie
Paulson. David also had two siblings, Margaret "Peggy" and Marilyn. His father was the city
attorney for Twin Falls.
David loved baseball and baseball loved David. He played during the Korean War for the Army
baseball team and that was his active duty, which he loved.
If it was any extension of Dave's arm, whether it be fishing, baseball, or golf, he was an amazing
athlete and at one time held the course record at Crane Creek Golf Course in Boise. He loved coaching,
and his first preference. His gong was a life -long sport for him.
David attended Boise Junior College and then later graduated from University of Idaho, of which he
was fiercely proud of his Vandals.
David adopted four children, Debra "Lee," Rocky, Rory, and Tammy Paulson at the time of his first
marriage. His children were the focus of his joy in his world and he was always proud of each of them.
David was one of the first sales representatives for Regence Blue Shield of Idaho and retired from that
company.
David was married to Dolores Randolf Jensen and, included in that union, he gained Kelly, Sam, and
Molly, of whom he cared for as well. Dolores continued to always be one of David's best friends.
David's other best friend was Larry Jackson. There were dear, close friends. David was preceded in
death by Larry, but always carried that friendship with him. They were brothers at heart.
"Cactus" retired young and moved to McCall to golf and enjoy his life. He loved having his family come
to enjoy the beauty of the area and his home was open to all. He spoiled many of us with the gift of
enjoying the beauty of the Payette Lake.
He loved big -band music and a favorite pastime of his was to listen to music and sing, which began for
him at the piano bar at Michael's in Boise. He continued to enjoy his music and friends at The Mill in
McCall. We will miss those nostalgic moments with our fun and funny dad, David Paulson.
David was preceded in death by his parents; his sister, Peggy; and his oldest daughter, Lee. He is
survived by his children, Rocky and Marta Paulson; Rory Paulson; and Tammy Paulson, of Boise; his
former wife, Dolores, and her family; his sister, Marilyn Dehlinger; his nieces, Kelly Guilliam Baber and
Cathy Helbling; his nephew, Steve Bolingberoke; his grandchildren, Courtney and Travis Nielson,
Shawn and Halley Paulson, and Danielle and Colton Cheatle; and his extended family. He will be
missed by all who knew and loved him.

Gerald Dale Patterson
Gerald Dale Patterson found quiet peace at the end of a struggle with cancer at home with his wife
Bobbie by him on May 14, 2015.
He was not good at being sick and he was blessed by closing his eyes peacefully for a final
time.
re;eat
A celebration of Gerald's life with be held at Arrowhead RV Park on his birthday, August 30,
2015.
He was tom to Glenn and Evelyn Wright Patterson on August 30, 1936, in Bonham, Texas.
At an early age the family moved to Huntington Beach, Calif., where he attended school and was a
great running back on the high school football team.
He married Aurora Garcia at an early age and that marriage was blessed with two daughters. They
were later divorced and Gerald left California and came to Cascade, where lived for the rest of his life.
Gerald left corporate life in California and started several small businesses in Cascade where he
served on city council, on the hospital board, and on planning and zoning.
In 1979, he purchased 50 acres of undeveloped land from J.R. Simplot and started the work of his life.
In 1982, he married Bobbie Byrne Doss and together they began a life together to accomplish Gerald's
dream of building a wonderful RV park that would be a wonderful summer home for hundreds of people
who would come and spend their time in Cascade.
Gerald spent every day to the day of his death completing and overseeing the development of
Arrowhead RV Park on the south end of Cascade. He did not have a lot of financial resources, but he
had a vision, determination, a strong back and an incredibly brilliant creative mind.
There was never a challenge or a need that Gerald could not find an answer to. You Just had to give
him the time to picture the solution in his mind and he would go and build the answer.
One day he decided to try his hand at wood carving. He was more determined than gifted, but he saw
the potential, and now Arrowhead is the home of more than 60 wonderful totem poles carved by guests
from around the country.
Gerald took a piece of bare land and converted it to a very special place that has been a wonderful
second home to so many people over the past 35 years. Arrowhead RV Park will live on as a tribute to
his vision, his determination, his endless hard work, his great mind and his devotion to building only the
best.
Gerald is survived by his wife, Bobbie; his two daughters, Ena Hinton (Merrill), and Enet Kegan
(Peter); his granddaughters, Michelle and Lisa; his devoted grandson, Christopher; and three great -
grandchildren, several nieces and nephews and Bobbie's family.
An online guest took is available at www.nampafuneralhome.com
If anyone would like to make a contribution In Gerald's name, St Jude's Children Hospital would be his
choice.

liver, with his dear friend and fellow rancher Robin by his side.
Please join us on Sunday Aug. 12, at 4 p.m. at the beach in Pbnderosa State Park in McCall
to celebrate his fife. Bring your favorite memories to share. Oh, and "Give yourself a Hug!!'
Alan joined his sister Cindy and parents Robert and Constance Pearson on their Camarillo,
Qy Calif., ranch on Aug. 30, 1940.
He attended the Ojai Valley Boys School, Oxnard High School, and Utah State University
where he graduated with a B.S. degree in agriculture with a minor in hell- raising at the Cactus Club in
Logan.
Alan's first real job was selling Gerber baby food. He also worked as a repo man focused on
recovering large equipment such as airplanes, tractors, and trucks. He really did not enjoy this job as he
felt he was taking away from families.
From there he went on to a career in real estate, becoming a Realtor and real estate investor in
California and Idaho.
Alan spent several years in Sun Valley having fun and selling real estate. He made his way to McCall
In 1989 where he bought a beautiful ranch below Jughandle Mountain, which is where he lived until his
death.
Alan enjoyed travelling to Thailand to visit Peter and his family and a trip to Chile with Cami. He
enjoyed dinners with friends, Fox News, boxing and he always had a horse or two at his ranch for the
kids to brush and ride. He is blessed with too many great friends to mention.

W. R. "Bill" Peregrine
W. R. "Bill" Peregrine, our beloved husband, father, grandfather, great - grandfather and friend passed
away this June and as a dear friend remarked, "He will be missed by all who knew him."
Bill was no ordinary man. He lived to 88, but had he died a young man. He still would have done more,
seen more, learned more than most. So you see, writing the "story" of this man's life is neither feasible
nor realistic; so instead we've decided to not recount the stats of his life: born in South Dakota, fought in
World War II married shortly after to "love of his life" for 64 short years. Instead, we aim to give you a bit
about who he was, rather than what he did.
Bill was a wanderer at heart. He loved the open road, and to know what was around the next comer or
over the next hill. Life was a grand adventure for him and although he was passionate about exploring,
he found the adventure in the everyday not just the grand expressions.
A drive down Kleinschmidt Grade or a new gardening project or a new town were all of keen interest to
Bill. Rather than moving on, out of a perpetual sense of dissatisfaction or dysfunction, Bill left with a
happy heart to his next adventures.
Bill never cared to spend his life trying to become anyone special. And in the end, it made him just
that. He didn't care to build a career, or focus on accumulating wealth, or gaining status.
Instead, he invested in personal relationships and self satisfaction. He had many different occupations
and although he found success at most, he liked a challenge and wasn't afraid of failure. Once he and
his family took on a failing business just to play it out.
He loved his wife, Dolores, with a commitment and passion that was as rare as it was inspiring. In
recent years, as Dolores has developed dementia and requires full -time care, Bill selflessly and willingly
devoted himself to her care and happiness, even at the cost of his own.
Bill and Dolores have three children Charlene, Sandy, and Joe. Bill was an equally loving and devoted
father. In Bill's final months as his body began to fail him, the care and devotion of his children spoke to
the mutual respect and love he had fostered.
Bill was a true friend who never met a stranger. He found diversity of life choices to be interesting
which led him to have a large, varied circle of friends who he worked to stay in touch with even as he
moved along.
Bill was a story teller. "He never let the truth get in the way of a good story." Bill had an incredible
memory and acted as the keeper of our family's stories and our collective memory. His brother said, "If
you ever wanted to know how something went, you called Bill."
Bill could remember the exact details of a book he read 10 years ago. Which was truly amazing
considering that he only read non - fiction and was a voracious reader.
Bill never went to college but he heavily valued self - sufficiency and knowledge so he set about to self
educate himself, reading anything and everything including things that he knew he would find
contradictory to his own paradigm.
In the weeks following 9/11, he read the Koran in an effort to be more informed. Bill was nothing if he
wasn't an independent thinker.
Bill was also amazingly well rounded. He could sell anything, tell you how to build anything, how to
grow anything, where to find anything, and had different solutions to your particular puzzle. He was often
heard saying, "You don't have to do what I tell you but you do have to listen."
Bill loved self sufficiency and survivalist lore. A child of the Depression era, he believed that hard times
were around the comer and he enjoyed preparing for the system collapse. He stock -piled whiskey, not
to drink but to use for trade. Bill never took himself too seriously and was a joker who loved to tease.
In fact, Bill's most prominent feature was his unique ability to embody so many contradictions easily.
He was brilliantly uneducated, an honest liar, a generous cheap skate, confidently humble, etc. Bill fit
into no box easily, not even the one we buried him in.
In the final hours of his life, he lay in our family home accepting his final breaths with a courage and
grace that was hard to take. He sent messages of love, and encouragement to family members.
After struggling through the night and spending the day laying in bed holding hands with his daughter,
with a grace that humbled all of those present, he stayed self determined until the end.
When he was tired of struggling for breath he said "enough" and took off his oxygen mask and was
gone minutes later. It was an honest and beautiful death that mirrored an amazing life.
We buried him in the veterans' cemetery in Boise without a service or fuss as was his wish. We all
miss him, but we will take solace in his no nonsense love and acceptance as we all strive to live our
lives freely and with ease as he did.

Mark Anthony Perez
Mark Anthony Perez, 61, of McCall, passed away Jan. 5, 2013 at St. Alphonsus Regional Medical
Center in Boise.
Please join us at Lardo's in McCall at 1 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 12, for a Celebration of Life.
'r Mark was born on Aug. 30, 1951, in San Francisco, Calif., to Ernest and Rose Perez. He
grew up in the surrounding area with his parents and his younger brother, Richard. He
attended school in Cupertino, Calif., and graduated from high school in 1969.
Mark was closely connected to a large family of uncles, aunts and cousins, who were a
close -knit group. This way of fife led Mark to be very social and he could make friends easily. And many,
many friends he had.
Mark moved to McCall around 1974 where he began working for the Forest Service. He started as a
sawyer in timber thinning trees and graduated up to the Payette Interregional Fire Suppression Crew as
a Hot Shot for the Payette National Forest. He formed many friendships that followed him throughout his
life.
After his stint with the Forest Service he worked in residential construction in McCall. In California he
was a union journeyman carpenter so it was only natural that he continue his career as a builder.
Mark was known for his craftsmanship in quality work and agility to work on rooftops and high beams
with remarkable balance. He was well respected among his peers in construction.
He spent many wonderful years with his close friend Sharon. They traveled through Mexico, the
Caribbean and enjoyed the Oregon Coast together.
The highlights of Mark's life were fishing and golfing. He will be greatly missed by his family and
friends who share many adventures on the Salmon River and golf course.
He is survived by his brother Richard, niece Rachel and nephews Zeb, Eric and Cameron.

Kate" Marie (Leavitt) Perkins
After three years of showing the world her determination and joy through her personal fight with
cancer, Katelyn went to be with the Lord Jesus Christ on Oct. 30, 2014.
IdAll She left behind a husband who loved her dearly, Andy Perkins; her parents, Mike and Cindy
Leavitt; four siblings and their spouses, Kyle and Michele Leavitt, Nick Leavitt, Patrick and
Jessie Leavitt and Jessica Leavitt; grandparents Bill and Eunice Johnson and Ron and Pat
Leavitt; and her mother and father iq -law, Steve and Cindy Harkrader.
In addition, she had many extended family members, aunts, uncles, nieces and a nephew, cousins
and many, many friends. We miss her every day.
We would like to thank the city of McCall for being a great place to raise our children and for helping
raise a beautiful girl that turned into a beautiful woman.
Katelyn worked for The Star -News and touched your newspaper every week for a couple of years as
she folded them, prepping them for distribution. Sometimes she would tuck in a special note just to say
hello or tell you that she loved you. She got such a kick out of doing that!
Great memories were made as she, her brother Patrick and Jordon Sussi worked together in the wee
hours of the morning and often extended their fun by going to breakfast when they completed their work.
Katelyn and Jessica sold Buddy Biscuits at the local farmers market and made many local dogs
happy. They both worked with Janet and Bill Houlihan at Long Valley Vet and knew many dogs in the
community better than they did the dogs owners. Thank you Bill and Janet for loving our kids and
investing so much in Katelyn. Katelyn also enjoyed knowing and interacting with many in the community
as she served them at Hometown Pizza.
Dr. Dave Hall, we thank you for the countless hours that you invested in the girls soccer program in
this community but most of all for all you gave to both of our girls. Katelyn loved you dearly and knew
very well that she was blessed to have you as her coach for nearly a decade of her short life.
Lex Bernstein, Forrest Stanley and Greg Pittenger came along later and added many important
physical and life skills - dedication, diligence, comradery and simply loving people. You men poured your
hearts out and she didn't take those lessons for granted. We thank you for your investment in young
women but we are most grateful for loving and teaching our girls.
Katelyn's strength and joy was from the Lord Jesus Christ and she wouldn't hesitate for a moment
telling you so. She was joy on steroids all the way to the last hours of her young life.
Thank you, McCall community, for your support, for the small community environment that knits
people in, for your generous hearts through fundraisers and for the many, many prayers from countless
supporters and lovers of Christ. We appreciate you more than words can say.
Lastly, the treasure trove of friends and church family from Payette Lakes Christian Center and
Mountain Life Church, you are family! You helped raise a little girl that turned into a radical messenger
for Christ.
Many of her final days were spent investing in the youth of her church. She truly made an impact. Your
investment in community, loving Katelyn, teaching her and helping us prepare her with a strong
foundation will never be forgotten.
She is in the presence of the King of Kings. Your investment in her will be counted. Mike and I are
forever grateful for your sacrifice of serving our children and loving them.
How do you say goodbye to someone you are so in love with? We are still learning how to do that.
Goodbye for now Katelyn. We will see you later and we shall laugh together again.
"The Lord is my strength and shield. I trust him with all my heart. He helps me, and my heart is filled
with joy. I burst out in songs of thanksgiving." - Psalm 28:7

light that had
shinedfor 1 Odays
short of a century.
Services will be
held at 10:30 a.m.
Wednesday, Dec.
9, at the Alden -
WaggonerFuner-
al Chapel, 5400
Fairview, Boise,
with the Rev. Jack
Dawson officiat
ing.
Lillian was born Dec. 15, 1898, at
St. Augustine, III., the daughter of Al-
bert and Edith Gallet Simmons.
At the age of six she moved to
Pocatello, Idaho, with her widowed
mother and older sister to make her
home with her maternal grandmother,
beginning a lifelong romance with
Idaho. Lillian attended schools in
Pocatello, as well as in Arizona and
Texas, and attended the Southern
Branch of the University of Idaho, cur-
rently Idaho State University. Herearly
employment years were spent as a
secretary in the division offices of the
Union Pacific Railroad in Pocatello in
the 1920s. Also assigned to this office
was a young civil engineer named
Clough Perkins, member of a pioneer
Idahofamilyfrom pre- statehood days,
and recently returned from World War
I service in France. Lillian and
Clough's relationship bloomed and
the couple were married on Dec. 15,
1923, Lillian's 25th birthday.
Her early days as a bride were a lit-
tle rough, with their first home a con-
verted boxcar parked on a side track
in McCall. The young couple served
several assignments in the Pocatello
area, eventually branching out to
more senior positions in Ashton,
Idaho, and Dillon, Mont. With the eas-
ing of the Depression in the middle
1930s, Cloughwas promoted regular-
ly, and Lillian found herself establish-
ing new homes in Kansas City, Mo.,
and Salt Lake City, Utah. In 1943 Lil-
lian and Clough were transferred
again, this time to Union Pacific head-
quarters in Omaha, Neb. We were in
the middle of World War 11, Clough was
gone frequently, and Lillian became
deeply involved in the Red Cross Can-
teen at the Omaha airport, serving the
sailors, soldiers and Marines passing
through, and receiving several com-
mendations for her dedication. The
war passed, things got back to normal,
Lillian returned to her previous role as
a suburban homemaker and mother.
Clough continued to advance at Union
Pacific, and in 1949 was named chief
engineer of UPRR. He continued in
that position until 1957 when Clough
and Lillian retired in Portland, Ore.,
3 t d f e g GVi 'I k _bec. , Y ?9
where they continued to reside until
his death in 1966. As years passed,
Lillian yearned to return to Idaho, and
in 1969 picked up in Portland and
moved to Boise where her son and his
family lived. She thrived in Boise,
spending time with her family, and be-
coming an accomplished needle -
worker. She particularly enjoyed her
years with the Embroidery Guild of
Idaho and was wellknown for her
beautiful cross - stitch pieces.
Lillian is survived by her son and
daughter -in -law, Bill and Marilyn
Perkins of Boise; granddaughter, Di-
anne Anyan and husband, Richard of
Norwalk, Conn.; great - grandson,
Scott Anyan of Stamford, Conn.; her
niece and nephew, Jeanne and Dr.

Edwin Reinold Peterson
Ed Peterson,
resident of Boise,
Wednesday, May
died at his home
and four - legged
companions at
his side, dream-
ing of playing
golf and flying
his plane to
McCall. Ed
lived his last
few days just
as he had lived
his entire life:
fighting to the
78- years -young
passed away
26, 1999. Ed
with his family
end, unwilling to accept or concede
defeat.
A memorial service will be held
at 3:30 p.m. Sunday, May 30, at
the Cathedral of the Rockies.
Arrangements are under direction
of the Alden- Waggoner Funeral
Chapel.
Ed was born April 7, 1921, at
Tottenville, Staten Island, N.Y., the
son of Nils and Hulda Peterson. He
grew up in Brockton, Mass., and
was an accomplished athlete.
Ed served in World War II, flying
B -24 Liberators from England. On
his 29th mission over Europe, Ed's
B -24 was severely damaged and
he diverted to neutral Sweden and
landed in a small field. While Ed
was in Sweden, he met a beautiful
woman named Kerstin Kahlow. Ed
and Kerstin were married at Halms-
tad, Sweden, using Ed's parachute
as material for Kerstin's wedding
dress. During the war Ed earned
the Air Medal and the Distin-
guished Flying Cross.
Ed and Kerstin moved to Boise
in 1947, joining Ed's brother Carl in
establishing Peterson Rebuild and
Exchange Co., or Preco Inc. In the
mid- 1960s, Ed invented the Bac -A-
Larm, and sold the first units to
Morrison Knudsen in 1967. Today,
Bac- A -Larms are used worldwide
and Preco remains the world's larg-
est supplier of reverse warning
systems.
Ed was a born inventor and cre-
ated many new product ideas in
addition to the Bac- A -Larm. He
developed collapsible luggage car-
riers, home security alarms, and
tone clocks for the hearing
impaired, automotive electrical
accessories such as the Power
Divider and Kwik- Power, the
Leash - Collar, and through Preco
New Products Corporation, the
CordMinderTM and Reverse Alert.
Millions of CordMindersTm are in
use in the United States and
internationally.
to was a strong supporter of
Boise State University and the BSU
athletic programs. He was a regular
at BSU football games. Ed's com-
mitment to BSU is demonstrated by
the Ed Peterson / Preco New Prod-
ucts Learning Center and Ed Peter-
son Plaza located at the BSU
Pavilion. Ed often performed great
acts of generosity with no thought
of repayment. In the winter of 1996,
when the residents of McCall were
stranded by mudslides, Ed flew two
planeloads of milk and supplies to
the stranded town.
Ed will always be remembered
for his unique style, fierce determi-
nation, single- minded will and love
of life. Ed was creative, dynamic
and always full of surprises. Ed
could best be described by his
favorite Frank Sinatra song, "My
Way.,,
Ed is survived by two daugh-
ters, Ingrid Peterson and her hus-
band, Charles Alpers of Seattle,
Kristina Peterson and her husband,
Asa Murray of Boise, a son, Mark
Peterson and his wife, Joan of Boi-
se; a brother, Carl Peterson of Boi-
se; his first wife, Kerstin Peterson
of Boise; and grandchildren, Nils
and Anne Alpers, and Samantha
and Zachary Peterson. Ed was pre-
ceded in death by his parents; and
his sister, Emily Salkield.
The family wishes to express
their sincere gratitude to those indi-
viduals who made Ed's last days
comfortable: Dr. E. Manley Briggs;
Dr. Micheal Adcox; Ann Williams;
Norm Faltinson; the staff of St.
Luke's RMC 4 South, 6 East,
MSTI, Home Care and Hospice;

tion, 1910 University Drive, Boise

Ernest Dean Peterson
Ernest Dean Peterson, 94,
passed away peacefully at his
home in Boise on Wednesday,
Jan. 15, 2003, joining his wife,
Helen Marie (Tussing) Peterson
who preceded him by only 52
days.
He was a man of moderation
and generosity, caring for all peo-
ples and all living things equally.
Pete was there to help anyone in
need and held the love and
respect of all who met him,
throughout his life.
He is survived by his two chil-
dren, five grandchildren, and
three of his younger siblings,
f ,ilax, Opal (Hoffman), and Larry.
E. Dean "Pete" Peterson was
torn Oct. 9, 1908, in Pleasant
Grove, Utah. He was the third of
10 children. His grandfather and
father started working for the rail-
road when it cut through their
farm in Utah. The railroad led the
family to many locations in the
Northwest until Pete's father
became a railroad station master
in Aberdeen, Idaho. After high
school he followed his older
brother Fritz to the University of
Idaho. He left school for a year to
earn money to continue. He
returned with his normal gusto,
joined the ROTC and graduated
in civil engineering in 1931.
Upon graduation he went into
the Army Corps of Engineers,
where he became one of their
experts in concrete. He was one
of the pioneers in pre- stressed
concrete and concrete "tilt up"
buildings. He worked on Arrow -
rock and several other major con-
crete dams on the Snake and
Columbia rivers. He met his wife
while driving to one of these jobs
via U.S. Highway 30. Helen M.
Tussing was working at her fami-
ly's fruit stand in Fruitland, Idaho,
when a handsome young man
drove by in his new rumble seat
roadster wearing his dashing uni-
form, high black engineer boots,
and "Smokey the Bear" hat.
Helen turned to her schoolmate
helper and said, "That one's for
me!" She was right, he turned
around to get some fruit. Though
each was nearly engaged, they
courted while Helen finished busi-
statdqmd�
ness school and they were mar-
ried in 1938. Pete continued his
Army experience during World
War II, designing methods and
containers for shipping large war
items to the front so that they
arrived in ready to use shape.
These duties took them to many
cities in the U.S. His son, Gary D.
"Pete" Peterson, was born in
Denver in 1940. He was in Cali-
fornia when his daughter,
Katholyn (Kathy) Neyle Peterson -
Larson, was born in Boise in
1944.
After the war he became an
architect and contractor and built
homes throughout Idaho. These
homes were far ahead of their
time, having partial solar heating,
prestressed concrete beams,
radiant heating in the floor, and
other novel features. The family
moved to Boise in 1951, where
Pete was employed by the home
loan division of the Veterans
Anministration. While there he
received numerous awards. He
retired from the VA in 1968 and
tie and Helen became "snow -
isirds." They spent winters traile-
held Saturday, Jan. 25, from 11
a.m. until 12 noon at the Peterson
Home, 2213 Heights Drive, Boise.
A gathering of family and friends
will follow throughout the day for
the recall of remembrances and a
celebration of Pete's enduring
spirit! It cannot be forgotten, as it
is with us still!
All friends, past and present,
are invited to the service and
gathering. Phone: (208)

Death: Larry E. Peterson
On Wednesday, Dec. 22, 1937, Ellis and Bessie Peterson received their Christmas early when their
son Larry Ellis Peterson was born.
AakLarry made a one -of -a -kind entrance into the world. Following family tradition he was
delivered by the family veterinarian at home in Cambridge like his two older sisters, Carol and
Mary Ann, with their youngest sister Lynda completing the family (although she was born in a
hospital). This was the beginning to his remarkable life.
Larry excelled at basketball and football while attending school in Cambridge. Most likely
due to the early honing of his athleticism by alpine skiing five miles from Rush Creek during the winter
months to school (uphill both ways!) as well as riding his bicycle up and down Midvale Hill.
He always liked to tell the story of riding down Midvale Hill and took the dogs 30 minutes to catch up!
Once Larry graduated from high school he joined the U.S. Army Reserves and served as an
administrative assistant, but never lost sight of his desire to become a civil engineer. With several
unsuccessful attempts to be put on standby reserve status to continue to serve and attend college, he
was discharged from the US Army Reserve.
After discharge from the Army he immediately enrolled in the University of Idaho and began the
journey to becoming a civil engineer. While at the University of Idaho he again followed his desire to
serve and joined Air Force ROTC. He faithfully served in the US Air Force ROTC for three years.
Upon learning that he was unqualified to fly, he decided to separate from the military and follow his
passion in civil engineering. After graduation from the University of Idaho in 1960 he took a job with the
FAA as a maintenance supervisor on VOR sights all over the Utah, Wyoming, and Montana area.
While working for the FAA he realized what was important to him - family. Larry moved back to New
Meadows in 1963 and began working as a carpenter in the central Idaho area and began building his
reputation as an outstanding carpenter.
During that time, he met Linda Carpenter. They later married in 1964 and had their first son, Mark
Peterson, in 1965, Davis in 1968, and Christopher in 1970. After his father's death in 1966 he was thrust
into the family business and began the second - generation owner of C&M Lumber.
Along, with becoming a second - generation business owner he became extremely involved with the
community. He was instrumental in starting the JCs, Meadows Valley Days, and chamber of commerce.
He also served as a two-term county commissioner, and a 50 -year career in the Meadows Valley Fire
Department: assuming positions as firefighter, fire chief, and fire commissioner.
On June 22, 2014 he married Dorothy Sams. He spent the rest of his days enjoying gardening, razor
riding, and spending time with his family.
Larry had a remarkable life and will be remembered as a key leader in the community, irreplaceable
father, grandfather, great grandfather, and husband. He was a man of faith and lived life serving others.
On June 18, 2016, he took his final ride into the heaven surrounded by his family. On June 25 at 11 a.m.
the family will hold a celebration of his life at the Meadows Valley High School followed by a graveside
service at the Meadows Valley Cemetery
Arrangements under the direction of Thomason Funeral Home. Condolences may be sent to the family

Evan David Peugh
"May all beings everywhere, with whom we are inseparably interconnected, be fulfilled, awakened, and free. May there be peace in this
world and throughout the entire universe, and may we all together complete the spiritual journey." - Lama Surya Das
Evan David Peugh began his earth -bound adventures on Aug. 3, 1990 in Salt Lake City, and on April 26, 2014 in Boise, he
embarked unintentionally into his next journey to a greater Peace.
His transition into this journey will no doubt be swift, as he will be transported along with an absolutely massive amount of
Love. His struggles with self- doubt, anxiety, and a recently diagnosed chemical imbalance are all vanquished. With his difficult
odyssey in the past, he is now free and released.
He touched virtually everyone he ever met on such a deep heartfelt level, but he has left us all with the greatest of gifts: to
love unconditionally. That cherished gift is now entrusted to all those whose lives he touched, to pass on and carry forward, to
help and guide others.
His creative talent, charm and intelligence, are all reminders of him, but it will be his limitless wit and humor that will carry us through the
difficult days that lay ahead.
His life here was indeed so very full. He grew up with this remarkable natural world outside his back door, and with his family, embraced
all it had to offer. His life was intertwined with Nature, and all living things.
He traveled to 19 different countries in his 23 years, but it was his year spent in Norway at age 16 that left a profound effect on him. He
truly embraced Norway, its people, culture, language (becoming fluent) and staggering natural beauty. The friendships he cultivated there
are enduring.
The sense of European style he experienced there guided him to The Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in L.A, where he
studied fashion design for three years, and led to his job with designer Hale Bob. It is there in L. A. that some of his most creative energy
was released, and some of his strongest life connections established.
He unblinkingly approached his lifestyle with personal integrity and resolute determination. He taught so many others to be their true self.
.. with no illusions. He impacted everyone whose lives he touched, and because of him, he has left this earth a better place.
He is survived by two of the proudest parents on this planet, Dave and Mimi Peugh of McCall, who are so incredibly honored to call him
their son. Also, his astonishingly wise and most loving brother Dana of Olympia, Wash., who will continue Evan's legacy of Love for All
Living things, and play a huge role in helping Evan on his spiritual journey ... blood brothers for eternity; Evan's partner and cherished
member of our family, Steven Santos, who is sharing much of his own strength with us during this time; his matemal grandparents, James
and Helen Sander of Garden Grove, Calif., who taught Evan many of life's lessons ... and are forever cherished; his "soul - sister"
Anastasia Stallcop of Los Angeles, who understood Evan on such a profound level, and who is now forever a part of our family circle; a
most astonishing presence in Evan's life, Denise Novoselski of Malibu, Calif., whose heartfelt love and compassion for him were infinite ...
no less a mother on a spiritual level; Dave and Debbie Sander of Springfield, Va.; Linda Ruble of Danville, Calif.; Dr. E. John Harris, Jr. and
Leslie of Hillsborough, Calif.; Jeff and Dana Guidi of Santa Rosa, Calif.; and Evan and Pam Peugh of Alamo, Calif.
He is also survived by many cherished cousins who will keep the memories and laughter in their hearts forever. He was preceded in
death by his paternal grandparents, David and Beanie Peugh, who are family legends now; aunt Arm Sander and aunt Nancy Peugh.
Our Family Circle has not narrowed, instead it has increased immeasurably ... the circumference growing ever broader and more
bottomless with Evan's Legacy of Love.
"To share happiness and to have done something good before leaving this life is sweet ".
Buddha
In lieu of flowers or other efforts, we request that you make a donation to the wonderful Pride Foundation, which supports
community throughout the Pacific Northwest: www.pridefoundation.org and keep Evan in your hearts with
31 love for others.

"Our revels now are ended.
These our actors,
As I foretold you, were all spirits,
and Are melted into air,
into thin air:
And, like the baseless fabric of this
vision,
The cloud- capp'd towers,
the gorgeous palaces,
The solemn temples,
the great globe itself,
Yea, all which it inherit,
and shall dissolve,
And, like this insubstantial
pageant faded,
Leave not a rack behind.
We are such stuff
As dreams are made on;
and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep."
Shakespeare
Because of a lifelong devotion to
and compassion for public school
children, her daughter requests

Elwin Ray Phipps
Elwin Ray Phipps, age 46, of
Middleton, was tragically taken
from us on October 25, 2003
while doing the one thing he most
loved.
A celebra-
tion of his life
will be held at i
3:00 p.m., on
October 30th at
the Chapel of
the Chimes x
Funeral Home,
105 E Carlton, A°
Meridian,
Idaho.
A loving
father, avid outdoorsman, and
devoted hLA and, Elwu, yoasborn
` 7 in TV-CCaZ(_Jdaho, to
illiarxt_ dames Phipps and Flo -
reo>;e L - __� s. Although
Elwin traveled extensively during
his life, he always returned to Ida-
ho, the one place he truly called
home.
He joined the Army in 1975
and quickly rose to the rank of I
Sergeant, serving most of his
term in Bamburg, Germany. He
loved his country and was proud
to serve.
Elwins greatest passion was
his family. He met the love of his
life, Regina Nesbit, in October of
1982 and married her April 28,
1984. After enjoying all that each
of them had to offer the other for
many years they brought their
greatest joy, Challis Nicole, into
the world. Never was there a
father more proud and never
again will there be a child more
loved.
He enjoyed everything out -
doors and actively participated in
a great many sports. His greatest
enjoyment was bass fishing and it
was while doing this, he was
taken from us. He loved footbali,
golf and baseball, and was proud i
to say he was a devoted "Cubs"
fan even when no one else stood
by them.
A brick mason since the age
of 16, Elwin went on to own and
operate his own business, Para-
gon Masonry. He had a great
many people whom he consid-
ered to be friends, which stood
beside him and believed in his
abilities when he began his busi-
ness. It was through them that
Elwin was able to achieve his
dream, and because of them and
his own determination, he was
able to reach the level of exper-
tise that he did..
The family would like to thank,
one of his closest friends and
fishing companion, James Kose-
ki. Its a comfort to us to know
that, in Elwins time of need, Jim
was there with him. We cant think
of anyone who we think could
have done more or tried harder to
keep him with us than Jim. It is
because of caring people, like
Jim, that life is a bit easier to take.
Elwin is survived by his loving
wife Reggie, his beautiful daugh-
ter Challis, both parents, James
and Lu -Ann, sister Heidi Berthe-
lot, brother Shawn Phipps, sister,
Shawna Loveland, brother Darcy
Phipps , and numerous nieces
and nephews.
A memorial fund has been set
up in Elwins name through the
Chapel of the Chimes for those
wishing to make contributions.
The Phipps family wishes to
extend their thanks and apprecia-
tion to all those who gave their
comfort and support during this
tragic time. Elwin will be greatly
missed but will remain forever in
our hearts.
