Read More	Virgil Ray Bowles was born March 31, 1926, in Pataha, Wash., to Thurman and Mildred Bowles, and he passed away Monday, Feb. 25, 2019, at age 92. He had one brother, Willy, and two sisters, Maureen and Norma, who preceded him in death. Growing up during the Great Depression, Virgil attended Pataha School. Jobs were scarce and he had to learn many skills and work a variety of jobs from logging, lineman, carpenter and mechanic to finally working for the Garfield County Road Department while working his farm. Virgil married Juyne Hender on June 17, 1951, and they moved onto the farm on Dutch Flat, where they lived a wonderful, loving life together. There they raised their four children and showed them the meaning of true love of each other and for the Lord. Virgil raised a large garden every year and hunted to help provide food for his family. After the kids left home, he continued to garden and shared produce with friends and families around town. When Juyne passed away, Virgil taught himself how to make zucchini bread, to the enjoyment of many. Virgil loved God and his church and rarely missed a service. He enjoyed helping out at the senior center and the historical society, and he served his community whenever possible. Santa and Mrs. Claus are together, again. In March of 2015, Virgil lost the love of his life, Juyne, after 63 years of marriage. His son, Larry, passed away in July of 2016. Virgil is survived by children Vickie (Jim), Lori (Kirk), Susie, Gary (Patty) and many grand/great-grandchildren. A celebration of his life will be held at 3 p.m. Sunday at the Pomeroy Christian Church. (Source: Lewiston Tribune; 1 March 2019)
