People we remember
Biographies are where we share about family & friends to connect with others who remember them.
Martin Guerrero:
I only visited my grandfather a couple of times before he passed way but my earliest memory is of him drinking a beer out of a can and sitting in his favorite chair.
Fast forward, we attended his funeral and it made me sad because I saw my mother sad. It was my first time to ever see anyone in a casket, it kind of scared me; I was nine years old.
Thelma Timinski:
Calvin “Ted” Wedge was my Uncle by marriage to my mom’s sister “Kaye” - “Uncle Ted” was my favorite uncle for specific reasons…he was funny and he was a friend to everyone he met. Uncle Ted, whenever I slept over at Aunt Kaye and Uncle Ted’s house, would wake me up, calling “Morning Glory”. And he and Aunt Kaye would take me dancing at the Aragon Ballroom on occasion, and Uncle Ted would dance with me at those times. He was a jokester, saying things like “Spell ‘wow’ backwards.” And when I was baptized, even though he was quite ill at the time, he and Aunt Kaye came from some distance to be in attendance and support. He was a good man and I loved him. I miss him too.
Pauline Eby:
Uncle Mike was an amazing person. When my aunt Patsy met him. He was going to be a priest. That changed quickly. They were married 3-2-1962. They had 6 children. Mike was born in Denver, Colorado. They moved to Bonners ferry, Idaho in May 1974. They lived in our driveway. I remember my sister and Mike would throw their change into the pool in order to teach us to swim. Mike and my Dad opened up an appliance store downtown. Mike quit smoking, so he was always eating sunflower seeds. They opened Jensen's county fair in August of 1978. It closed in March 1980. Mike was a house builder They moved to Reno where he built several houses. He also worked at a casino. They came back to Idaho in the 90's. He was building more houses.

Anita LeNorman:
My grandpa was the best ever! He was sweet, kind and soft spoken, at least until you got him mad. He used to sit with me and tell me stories and would take me hunting with him. I remember him standing outside of the little Baptist church preaching to everyone about smoking and how it would kill you. He died of lung cancer.
What a lovely human being.
Pauline Eby:

George Dunne:
A true patriot - Helen Irene Dunne Heinz was one of 13 children born to an Army family at Fort Riley in Kansas. She along with her older brother ( my father ) and younger sister were sent to live with their maternal grandmother in New Jersey to ease the strain on the family. She attended nursing school in New Jersey and was a roommate with a woman who eventually became my mother. Helen served as an enlisted officer along with her surgeon husband in the Korean campaign's MASH units. She was a stunningly beautiful woman and as our family rumors have it, she was the prototype for the character of Margaret "Hot Lips" Houlihan on the TV show M.A.S.H.
Julie Dishaw:
My Beautiful Sister - Losing you has taught me how fragile life is and how precious our time together was. I wish I had one more chance to tell you how much I love you. The pain of losing you is a reminder of that. There’s not a single day when I don’t think of you. I am so glad that you were my sister and spent memorable years together. You were crazy, fun, smart, and a beautiful sister that will forever hold a special place in my heart. I miss you and love you with my entire being but I know that wherever you are, you are at peace. I LOVE YOU!
Alysh Vickers:
Dee - Dee had a passion for chess, always eager for the next match—whether he won or lost. A dedicated worker throughout his life, he found exhilaration in jumping out of planes, completing nearly 200 jumps during his time in the Army! He was a man of immense respect and gratitude for all he had.
Though I only knew Dee during the last year of his life, the stories he shared painted a picture of a man who took pride and joy in being a father—and especially a grandfather. His hard work culminated in achieving his life's goal, with the help of his son, Jessie.
Dee, you will be dearly missed. Rest easy, knowing that Dingo is now my little Side Car. Thank you for everything, Dee
