Raymond F. Young Jr., 61, passed away on Nov. 10, 2010, at the University of Washington Medical Center of complications from acute leukemia. Ray was born Oct. 10, 1949, in Kalispell. He graduated from Flathead High School, and then moved on to Montana State University in Bozeman for a short period of time before returning to the Flathead. Ray met the love of his life, Vicki, on a blind date and soon after they were married in July 1972. They had just celebrated their 38th wedding anniversary. His wife and four children were his proudest achievement. Not a day went by when he wasn't bragging to his co-workers and friends about his children and four beautiful grandchildren. Ray worked several jobs in his earlier years, but had been with the Flathead County Road Department for the past 18 years. Throughout his life he was very involved in the Evergreen community. He retired from the Evergreen Volunteer Fire Department after 20 years, and was a member of the board of trustees. He was also a longtime member and former president of the Evergreen Lions Club. He served two terms as a school board member for Evergreen School. When not working, Ray spent his time with his children and grandchildren. He spent the summers working with his two sons on their stock cars, and riding bicycles with his grandson Raif. One of his greatest loves was his Harley Davidson, which he rode whenever he could. He took many long trips with his sons Raymond and Jason, and his best friend Heinz. He will always be remembered to them as a "wild hog." No matter what he was doing, he spent nearly everyday with his grandchildren who kept his smile wide and his eyes full of life. He was a friend to all who knew him and his infectious smile and love for life was contagious. Whether it was with his family or friends, Ray never left his feelings unspoken and was never afraid to say, "I love you." The world will never again see a man with a family more proud of the husband, father, grandfather and best friend he was. Ray was preceded in death by his parents, Raymond and Alyce Young, and father-in-law, Vern Corpron. He is survived by his wife, Vicki Young; son, Raymond Young, and wife, Terah; daughter, Kristi, and husband, Tim Hatlen; twin son and daughter, Jason and Jolene Young; grandchildren Raif, Micheal, Tayler and Tanah; mother-in law, Lois Corpron; brothers-in-law, Steve, Bruce and Jay Corpron; sisters-in-law, Pamela, Roni and Tana Corpron; numerous nieces and nephews; and too many cousins and friends to list. Ray was a man who left no words unspoken and left this earth with no regrets. He was a truly amazing man who will be terribly missed by all who knew him. A celebration of Ray's life will be held at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 21, in the Trade Center building at the Flathead County Fairgrounds with Pastor Jim Davey presiding. Bring your favorite dish for a potluck to follow. Ray's family would like to invite all who knew him to join them and honor the legacy of his life.
Jerry Ralph Wallem, 76
Jerry Ralph Wallem, 76, passed away on Wednesday, April 14, 2010, at the Brendan House in Kalispell. He was born April 18, 1933, in Fargo, N.D., during the height of one of America s greatest historic moments " the Great Depression. His parents, Esther (Burmeister) Wallem and Joseph Wallem, a World War I veteran, moved from Fargo with their three older sons to Glasgow, to follow the building of the Fort Peck dam. Families followed jobs; a tradition that persists today. As a highly impressionable pre-adolescent during World War II, the great wars " fought by his father, older relatives and friends " influenced his decision to join the Navy upon graduating from Glasgow High School in 1951. Jerry served as a machinist/mate class A in the Pacific aboard the U.S.S. Sicily aircraft carrier during the Korean War in the 1950s. Jerry was awarded the National Defense Service Medal, the Korean Service Medal, China Service Record, and United Nations Service Medal. Jerry s military service is further evidence that his life is a reflection of the times. Upon his honorable discharge from the Navy in 1956, Jerry joined the Morrison-Maierle Consulting Engineering firm as a Rodman and Chainman for the Glasgow Air Force Base. He continued his distinguished 38-year career with the firm, and was the lead surveyor, crew chief, and resident project representative on numerous projects. Jerry was a builder who contributed his surveying skills on some of the Pacific Northwest s largest construction projects, the interstate highway system in Montana, Washington and Oregon, dams along the Columbia River and its tributaries, wastewater treatment plants, and airports. By the time he retired in 1994, he had the longest career of active Morrison-Maierle employees. He was forced into early retirement in 1994 by a debilitating stroke. Jerry married Bonnie Ruth Brown on August 18, 1962 and together they forged a loving marriage and partnership that lasted nearly half a century. Jerry, you didn t set out to change the world, but your lifetime of loyalty and dedication to your family, your career with Morrison-Maierle, Inc., and your conservative values had a positive and lasting impact on your family and community. Your willingness to do your work everyday helped to weave a tapestry that gave your family the freedom to explore their passions. Your contributions to society were many: the interstate, the dams, the airports, the roads, and wastewater treatment plants. America s, especially the Pacific Northwest s, transportation and energy systems benefited all because of your, and others like you, dedication to your job. We ll miss your quiet humility and your beautiful smile that lit up your wonderful blue eyes. Thank you! Jerry was preceded in death by his beloved wife of 48 years, Bonnie; infant children, Celeste and Luther; parents, Joseph and Esther Wallem; in-laws, Don and Esther Brown; brothers, Ronald, Charles and Kenneth; sister, Joann Crowley; and sister-in-law, Carolee. Jerry is survived by his daughter, Leslie; grandchildren, Alec and Tori; brother, Glen; brothers-in-law, Jack Crowley and Scott Brown; sisters-in-law, Alice and Mary Wallem, Marsha Paulson and Judy McKenna; and numerous nieces and nephews. A combined memorial service for Jerry and Bonnie are pending. Johnson-Gloschat Funeral Home is caring for Jerry s family.
