Gary Dennis Gary Dennis, a Raymond resident, passed away peacefully on May 9, 2019.

Gary was a proud father, outstanding businessman, a strong community leader and a beloved husband.

Gary Dennis was previously married to Irene Jackson and had four children; Craig, Brent, Randy, and Julie Stroh. Gary also had eight grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. Gary married Cecelia (Cec) Nissell on June 24, 1984, and was married to her through his death.

Cec brought into the family her three children; Cindy Tumbarello, Kelly Anderson and Michael Nissell and had six grandchildren and they six great-grandchildren.

Gary was preceded in death by his mother and father, Thelma (Bond) and Bruce Dennis; his sister Carol Davis (John).

Gary had a passion for working in his yard. He always seemed his happiest when he was mowing his grass on his John Deere mower. No weed ever stood a chance in his yard or no leaf was ever left untouched after a fall storm. Gary sometimes poked fun at other gardeners who didn’t use John Deere equipment, including his kids. He loved to hunt deer in Canada and fish in Alaska.

He taught his boys how to hunt geese and ducks, which they did on the Rose Ranch for many years. He loved to travel and traveled to China, Africa, and places in between, loved to RV, and boating with his friends Sharon and Charlie Mills and Richard and JoAnne LaShance.

Gary and Cec‘s greatest hobby was collecting horse drawn carriages.

They started with farm implements which led them to acquire their first carriage in the l980s. Once their first carriage was bought and restored their passion only flourished. The Northwest Carriage Museum grew out of this hobby when Gary and Dec donated their carriage collection

to the City of Raymond. Besides his children, Gary’s proudest accomplishment was the building 0f the Northwest Carriage Museum in which he was a board member until his passing.

Gary was the president of the Dennis Company for 30 years and worked for the company up until the company sold in 2018. He took over the business from his dad, Bruce Dennis. Gary grew the retail business from just two stores to five stores and always focused on what the customer wanted and how the business could better serve the needs of the communities. Gary instilled these values of integrity and honesty upon his two sons, who later took over the business.

What Gary truly should be remembered for was his love of his community and the time and commitment he put toward them. Gary volunteered for the Willapa Baseball Association for many years, mowing the fields and coaching. He was a member of the Willapa Harbor Lions and the Raymond Elks, volunteering hours for each organization, He was the Willapa Harbor Citizen of the Year and under his leadership the Dennis Company was the Business of the Year twice. Gary strongly believed in giving back to the youth in our communities and started the Dennis Family scholarship program and helped sponsor many youth activities. He was truly loved by many and will be missed by his family and friends.

A memorial service to celebrate his life will be at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Northwest Carriage Museum.

Richard L. Goedker Richard Lyle Goedker was born on July 7, 1928, and left this earth on May 6, 2019, due to complications from a stroke. He was 90 years old. Richard, who went by the nickname Dick, was a longtime resident of Willapa Valley. Richard was the son of Earl and Vera Cox and had two sisters, Catherine and Marlene. Dick graduated from Willapa Valley High School in 1947 as a proud Viking. He decided to travel Western Washington after high school in search of work in the logging industry, a staple of Pacific County life. In 1950, not long after the end of World War II, Dick enlisted in the United States Army as a Heavy Duty Equipment Maintainer and was stationed at both Fort Lewis, Washington and Camp Kilmer, New Jersey.

During his service time, Dick had the opportunity to travel to Europe and serve in the 547th Ordinance Field Maintenance Company as part of the United States Army’s 6th Army Command. He enjoyed his time in Europe, arriving via the English Channel and traveling to Germany, England and ending his tour with one-ina-lifetime opportunity to see the Pope in Vatican City on Easter Sunday in 1952.

Dick was honorably discharged from service on Nov. 30, 1952, from Fort Lewis.

After serving his country, Dick returned to the Willapa Bay area where he worked for Rubin’s Chevron as a mechanic before he joined what would be the company he would eventually retire from, Weyerhaeuser. He held various positions in the Raymond Weyerhaeuser mill, from Shop Foreman, Log Truck Driver Foreman, a stint in the parts room and safety. He reached the pinnacle of his career and the position he loved the most when he was appointed the Supervisor of Log Operations. Dick and his family were very proud of this accomplishment because he was the first person to hold the position without a college diploma. Dick retired from Weyerhaeuser after 29 years of faithful service.

Dick Goedker loved Pacific County and this was evident in his passions after retirement. He maintained his bond with fellow military veterans by serving in the American Legion Post 150 in Raymond where he rose to the rank of

Post Commander. He was also a member of the Raymond Eagles lodge, the Lebam Methodist Church and served on both the Willapa Valley School Board and was the head of the Fern Hill Cemetery Board.

Dick was famous around the valley when it came to his pickled and smoked fish. He always fancied himself a true professional and neighbors for miles could attest to this as they could smell that smoke house on later summer evenings.

Dick found joy in life by spending time in the outdoors hunting and fishing and with his three grandchildren. When his son was growing up, Dick was his farm team, Little League and Babe Ruth baseball coach for his son. He maintained a presence in the Pacific County sports scene when his grandsons were old enough to play. Later in life, he was an ever present force at football, basketball and baseball games with torn allegiances to Valley and Raymond. Even though his granddaughter lived across the country, Dick always made time for her. He and Ruth would fly her out for visits, always ensuring the grandkids came first.

Throughout Dick’s life, family was always at the center.

He was married to his wife Ruth for 51 years until her untimely passing in 2005 at the age of 72. He is survived by his two wonderful children he was very proud of, William “Cougar” Goedker and Paula (Goedker) Miller; three grandchildren, Corey Miller, Lyle Miller and Shannon (Goedker) Stull and in the last years of his life, Dick had a special relationship with Nancy Bracket.

The family would like to pay special thanks to the medical staff of Willapa Harbor Hospital in South Bend. Their compassionate care during his final days was most comforting to him and his family. At Dick’s request, there will not be a formal funeral. The American Legion of Raymond, Post 150, held a small ceremony to honor Dick on May 18, 2019, at noon. Dick is set to be cremated at Stoller’s Mortuary in Raymond. Arrangements are in care of Stoller’s Mortuary in Raymond, Washington.

Lowell Alvin Manier Lowell Alvin Manier passed away on Saturday, May 18, 2019, in one of his favorite places on earth… his shop.

To know Lowell meant you knew he never stopped working, always had a project, and would help anyone in need.

Saturday he was doing what he loved…taking care of his shop cat Snowball, and his heart just knew it was time to rest.

Lowell was born Oct. 15, 1942, in Elma, Washington to Lowell D. and Eileen Manier. He grew up being the responsible big brother to a sister Linda, and brothers Jerry, Charles, Dick, and Bob. Lowell met his wife Myrna when she worked at the Satsop Grange Supply and they were married on June 15, 1968. Lowell and Myrna traveled the world together before having their two children Stephanie and Steven. This June they would have celebrated their 51st Wedding Anniversary. Lowell worked for Weyerhaeuser as a loyal and dedicated employee for 40 years. He was incredibly proud of his service and the lifelong friends he made there.

Lowell was the local Bee Whisperer with the most gentle soul, unless he was dealing with his new fangled cell phone. You could see him driving through town checking his bees, picking up supplies at Dennis Company, or stopping to get some Hostess snacks.

Lowell’s pride and joy was ML Manier Apiary – the best local honey in the world. Almost every day when you walked through his front door you would see boxes ready for pick up or jars left by loyal customers. Lowell loved working with his bees and sharing that work of heart with his community.

Lowell was an amazing husband, the greatest dad, an awesome “Papa Lowell”, and just the best guy you could ever hope to meet. He loved his little jokes and pranks and would get the biggest smile on his face when he pulled one over on you. He was a quiet collector, a master farmer, and could fix absolutely anything.

He loved listening to the Mariners on 710, time on his iPad, and getting chocolate chip cookies for Christmas.

Lowell was the best part of his family and is survived by his wife Myrna, daughter Stephanie, son Steven, and grandson Kendrick. He is also missed dearly by the animals he so tenderly cared for on his 40-acre farm.

As per Lowell’s request to not have a fuss made about him when he’s gone, there will not be a funeral. In lieu of flowers you can make a donation to Harbor Rescue in honor of his love of animals (PO Box 1158 Cosmopolis, WA 98537) or you can go out and take care of your local bees.

Peter (Pete) Roscoe Milan Papac On the evening of May 7, 2019, Peter (Pete) Roscoe Milan Papac, walked peacefully into the majestic beauty of the eternal forest. Pete was born in Montesano, a first generation American/ Croatian born of documented immigrant parents. Pete was a resident of Montesano for 86 years. After graduating from Montesano High School in 1948 and turning down numerous football scholarships including one to Stanford University, Pete worked for various logging companies.

Over time, he co-owned Papac & Owen (Bud Owen) and P&B Logging (Sam Baretich).

In 1980, Pete founded Papac Logging, Inc. where he pioneered “shovel logging”. His company, a leader in the timber industry, was one of the first to implement a system known as “shotgun logging” - not bad for a self-made man who self-effacingly called himself a “tramp logger.”

Virginia, his trusted business partner and beloved companion and wife of 32 years, recalled that Pete loved working deep in the woods with his crew.

She said that one of his favorite “toys” was a D6 Cat (bulldozer) and offered this classic description: A broad smile on his face, a lit cigar and a cap turned sideways; Pete’s eyes would light up with excitement, an expression that clearly communicated, “Get out of the way, here I come!”

By some local insiders, Pete will be playfully and fondly remembered as the Godfather of the Montesano Mafia. A few close friends reminisced: “Pete really knew how to enjoy life and he embraced every moment.

Occasionally, he sipped

Macallan scotch paired with a good cigar (pronounced see-gar). We frequently gathered in his trophy room where we shared hours and hours of (tall) stories. Without fail, we laughed until we cried.”

Another close friend said, “Pete was bigger than life. He was incredibly intelligent, exceedingly generous and greatly loved by more people than I can count.”

Virginia, an accomplished hunter in her own right, joined Pete on most of his domestic and international hunts. Harvesting animals was secondary to complete immersion in nature, observing species in their natural habitats and meeting new people. They enjoyed traveling the world together and sharing their multi-cultural experiences with others.

Pete hunted on six continents.

His great love of Africa, which he shared with lifelong friend, Ed Prkut, is documented by 32 African passport stamps. Beginning in 1975, Pete pioneered 13 hunts in the former Soviet Union, the first exploratory hunts by an American. These hunts, guided by Chris Klineburger and Vladimir Tresctchov, were instrumental in opening this region to international hunters. Notably, Pete collected Sheep of the World (32 species) including the magnificent Marco Polo argali, one of the toughest and most treacherous hunts in the world.

Pete and Virginia’s Wildlife Museum (more than 400 animal species and artifacts) introduced the Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, students of all ages, senior citizen groups and individuals with physical disabilities to the wonders of the natural world.

Pete loved people of all ages, and

positively impacted youth when he served 12 years on the Montesano School board. Additionally, they donated time and financial resources to the Konya Mouflon Sheep Program (Turkey); the Putoran Sheep Program (Russia) and the American-Chinese Study for the Conservation of Wild Sheep (Inner Mongolia).

These accomplishments represent the pinnacle of achievement in hunting and wildlife conservation: The Weatherby Hunting and Conservation Award in 1999, the 2004 Safari Club International (SCI) Hunter of the Year Award, the 2005 SCI World Hunting Award Ring and the Conklin Award in 2006.

Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, Ducks Unlimited, National Rifle Association, International Sheep Hunters Association, Weatherby Foundation International, Foundation for North American Wild Sheep, Safari Club International and Shikar Safari Club.

Pete was preceded in death by his father and mother, Steve and Katherine Papac; sisters, Dr. Rose J. Papac, Anne M. Jensen and Evelyn A. Papac; mother of his six children, Betty Bray; sons, Steven and Larry Papac and grandson, Jason Papac. He is survived by his spouse of 32 years, Virginia; sister, Irene V. Cicrich; sons, Michael Papac (Cindy) and Phil Papac (Danya); daughters, Patti Papac Krug (Al) and Susan Papac; stepson, David Schneider; eight grandchildren, 11 great-grandchildren and many nieces and nephews.

A memorial service was held on Thursday, June 13, 2019, at the Montesano Moose Lodge No. 1210, 3 Monte Elma Road, Montesano, WA 98563.

In lieu of flowers or donations, we ask that you celebrate Pete’s life in your own special way. Random acts of kindness have the power to change lives forever. Raising a glass of Crown followed by a good cigar in his memory would also be appropriate.

Charles Richard (Dick) Goss On April 30, 2019, Charles Richard (Dick) Goss, 97, died peacefully of old age in an adult care home in Tigard, Oregon. One of two sons, Dick Goss was born on July 15, 1921, in Montesano, Washington, to Wilbur Seely and Bessie (Moss) Goss. His brother Donn preceded him in passing (1918-2003). They were the descendants of an early pioneer family of Chehalis and Grays Harbor counties in Western Washington.

After graduating from Montesano High School in 1939, Dick continued at the University of Washington, where he studied forestry and later geology. He was also enrolled in the ROTC program, graduating in June of 1943.

During WWII, Dick served as a Lieutenant (j.g.) with the U.S. Navy in the Western Pacific, then after the war, returned to marry his college sweetheart (1945), Constance (Connie) Carolyn Goss (nee Halliday).

In 1947, Dick and Connie both attended the University of California, Berkeley, where he earned a graduate degree in geology.

In 1948, Dick joined Standard Oil Company of California. Over the following 25 years of his career as a petroleum geologist with Chevron Oil, Dick and his beloved wife raised five children while living and working overseas. Sharing a passion for exploring the world, Dick and Connie and their children were fortunate to have lived in many interesting locales including Venezuela, Colombia, Bolivia and the Philippines, as well as San Francisco.

After he retired in 1974, Dick and his family lived in San Francisco, and later moved to Atascadero, California, where he continued to pore over geological maps and seismic sections looking for the next “Big One”. Dick also enjoyed working with his hands, making pieces of furniture as well as building several houses and other unique structures for his family in California and in the Puget Sound area. He qualified as a general contractor, which he happily pursued as a hobby in retirement. Dick especially loved spending his later years at the family home on Puget Sound in Allyn, Washington.

He was preceded in death by Constance (3/12/21 – 3/13/85), his wife of forty years, and his son, Christopher Richard Goss (11/17/51 -11/1/84). He is survived by his second wife of 33 years, Carmen Nelson, one son: David Philip Goss (Peggy) of San Mateo, California; and three daughters, Leslie Meredith Goss of Mill Valley, California; Terry Ann Goss Hanford of Olney, Maryland; and Dana Carol Goss Otto (Darren), of Portland, Oregon. He is also survived by seven grandchildren: Megan and Daniel Hanford; Emily and Charley Goss; Ian, Carolyn, and Martin Agrimis; and great-grandson, Asher Hanford.

Dick loved talking about finding oil fields and he loved the outdoors, in particular, the majestic beauty of the Olympic National Forest. No service is planned. Any donations in his memory may be made to Washington’s National Park Fund or to a charity of your choice.

Edgar H. “Corky” Wilson Edgar H. “Corky” Wilson, 82, a lifelong resident of Pacific county, died in Ilwaco on May 10, 2019. One of five children born to Harry and Pearl (Church) Wilson, he was born in Long Beach on May 21, 1936. His mother’s sister was the midwife. His father Harry was a commercial fisherman who later was the original owner of Chinook Custom Cannery.

As a youth, his family lived at a home near the mouth of the Naselle River. One of Corky’s memories was getting cookies from the soldiers stationed nearby during World War II. The family moved to Chinook, where he attended Chinook Elementary and Ilwaco High School. As a fisherman, Corky played varsity football (he broke his collar bone in one game), lettered in track and was a standout varsity basketball player for four years and captain of his senior-year team. He holds the school game record of 42 points in the “old” I.H.S. Gym. Corky was scouted by the National Basketball Association, but his wife persuaded him to forgo the opportunity, knowing she might “lose” him…so he stayed local!

He and Virginia Driscoll were married Dec. 17, 1955, in Ocean Park, their first home being in Chinook. Corky became a shake sawyer and he and his wife moved to South Bend, where they raised their family and Corky worked for several mills during the next 30 years. He co-owned and operated Hansen & Wilson Logging with Don Hansen in the early 1970s and operated Corky’s Cedar Products in South Bend until the mid-1980s, became a maintenance man for several lumber operations, and finally retired as a “Cat” operator for Lindstrom & Son in Chinook. Returning to his roots in Chinook, he retired there in 1998.

Corky was a member of the Raymond Assembly of God and later attended in Astoria.

An avid hunter (including buffalo), fisherman (he and his father were pioneers in the development of the King crab fishery in Alaska), Corky was a very skilled and talented wood craftsman. He took pride in his numerous projects, from bird houses to model lighthouses to, of late, grandfather clocks. He was particularly proud of having rebuilt a historic two-horse buggy in Montana, the results of which are displayed in a museum in Helena, Montana. A dedicated family man, Corky had a nickname for everyone.

Besides his wife Virginia of the family home in Chinook, he is survived by daughter Gina Wilson of Chehalis, Washington, sons Gary Wilson of South Bend, Randy Wilson of Raymond and Russell Wilson of Raymond; eight grandchildren; eight great-grandchildren; and numerous members of his extended family.

Ann Manry Estabrook Hodge Ann Manry Estabrook Hodge, 81 of Aberdeen, went home April 24, 2019. Ann was born in Edison, Georgia, Dec. 14, 1937, the daughter of Albert E. and Susie Mae (Cowart) Manry.

She graduated from Edison High School in 1956 and then she graduated from Georgia Teachers College in Statesboro, Georgia. She later received her Master of Education from Valdosta State.

While teaching school in Albany, Georgia, she met and married Darrell Thomas Estabrook. Ann was a military wife, moving frequently and teaching wherever her husband was stationed.

On Sept. 25, 1969, Ann and Darrell were blessed with their only child, Suzy.

Soon after Suzy’s birth, the small family moved back to Ann’s hometown of Edison, Georgia, where she taught in Calhoun County.

Ann and Darrell created fond memories for Suzy as they traveled summers between Georgia and Washington State.

The family later relocated to Aberdeen, Washington, where Ann continued her teaching career.

After the death of her husband Darrell, Ann later met and married Richard Hodge. When God blessed Ann and Suzy with Richard, he made a broken family whole again.

Soon after their marriage, Ann and Richard welcomed Richard’s grandson, Deric, into their family and raised him as their own.

Ann tirelessly dedicated her time to her children. From gymnastics to being a Cub Scout Den Mother, Ann guided her children with love and a faith of God. At the age of 50, Ann went back

to college to pursue a career as a nurse. Ann found joy in caring for her patients. She worked until her retirement.

Ann’s greatest joy was spending time with her four grandchildren: teaching them everything from baking cupcakes to gardening and tutoring them in their studies.

After losing Richard, Ann moved in with her daughter Suzy where she lived out her last days enjoying farm life.

Ann was an avid reader, storyteller and lover of history.

Ann is survived by her only daughter, Suzy (Arne) Swenson of Matlock, Washington; three step-children: Cynthia Hodge, Debbie Snider, Denise Hodge and Danny Hodge; a brother, Edward Manry of North Carolina; a sister, Rebecca (Derrell) Avera of Edison, Georgia; a son-in-law, Scott Laird of Aberdeen; nine grandchildren: Deric (Ivy) Hodge of Twin Falls, Idaho, whom Ann raised as her son; Brittany (William) Lingnau of Aberdeen, Amber (Jack Sears) Bensinger of Portland, Oregon, Brandon (Carli) Bensinger of Coeur d’ Alene, Idaho, Samantha Laird of Aberdeen, Sean Hodge, Logan Schmid and Cole and Blake Swenson of Pullman, Washington; five great-grandchildren: Jude Hodge, Ryder, Xavier, Jayce and Kynslee Lingnau.

Donneta June Borden — June 28, 1936 to May 2, 2019 “God made a wonderful mother, a mother who never grows old; he made her smile of the sunshine and he molded her heart of pure gold” Our mom was amazing; she was one of a kind with a warm, loving heart, gentle spirit, and hugs and kisses all around.

Mom’s family was her number one priority.

Nothing made her happier than to have her family visit. She loved to feed you, laugh with you, and make you listen to her ‘oldies but goodies’, like Johnny Cash, Elvis and Roger Miller.

Mom’s gentle spirit extended to her love of both watching and caring for her animals, large and small. From horses and cows to pigs and chickens, mom loved them all. She would purposely leave apples on the ground in the orchard for the deer and always made sure her hummingbird feeders were full. She would take in stray dogs and cats, because that’s just who she was, and no one challenged her when it came to taking in another stray, ever.

Mom was born Donneta ‘June’ Pyle, one of nine children, in the small, rural town of Elmer, Missouri. Mom shared fond memories of playing half-court basketball in high school and loved showing off her highly effective ‘granny-style’ free throw shots whenever she got the chance. As a young adult, mom moved out to the big city of Elma, Washington, where she met and married Don ‘Speed’ Borden and later raised their three children Donald ‘Eugene’ Borden, Darrell (Shelley) Borden, and Donneta (Kevin) Oremus. June

and family made their home ‘on the farm’ located on Powers Creek where many great family memories were made, including several stories better left for another time.

Mom was a ‘mom’ to everyone she knew. Many of her children’s friends would call her mom or Mama June; she loved them all. This was by far her greatest gift, making you feel loved. She always greeted you with a sweet hello, (still retaining small signs of her southern twang) a dimpled smile, and a hug. She said goodbye the same way, even sneaking in a kiss whenever possible.

Everyone felt her love.

June is preceded in death by her husband Speed and her eldest son, Eugene. June took great pride in her growing family of seven grandchildren Bret and Erika Spath, Darci McMaster, Allison Felder, and Danielle, Shannon and Douglas Borden; as well as her seven great-grandchildren. Although mom will be missed dearly, there’s no doubt that she has earned her wings and is busy loving up on her heavenly family right now.

Services and potluck reception will be held on Friday, May 10, 2019, at 2 p.m. at the Malone Assembly of God Church, 23 Mox Chehalis Road, Malone, WA 98559.

June’s children Darrell Borden and Donneta Oremus thank you for attending and sharing in the celebration of our wonderful mother’s life.

Arrangements are entrusted to Twibell’s Fern Hill Funeral Home in Aberdeen, Washington.

Rocky J. Leister 1954-2019 Rocky Leister, who lived in Glendale, Arizona, and was native to Washington State, has played his final gig. Rocky never missed a beat and that’s why it’s no surprise that he took his final breath on 4/25, at exactly 4:25 p.m.

His band members include his mom, Evelyn Schave, dad, Dennis Schave, son, Rocky Pratt, sisters, Darlene Bernard and Tanya Ghetian, sister-in-law, Marilyn Beban and niece, April Gedney (A.J.). He was supported by his adoring fans…an extended family of step-brothers and step-sisters, aunts, uncles, friends and fellow musicians.

He was met on the stairway to heaven by his nephew, Michah McGarrah, and his best furry friend, Yoda, who passed just days before.

Although Rocky was known to many for his classic rock and gospel instrumentals, his best medley was his late-night phone calls to his family and friends. To be on the receiving end of one of these Rocky originals was to hear you were loved. And it was music to your ears.

When he wasn’t drumming, strumming his guitar, or dialing a telephone keypad, you’d most likely find him in his favorite recliner, with a TV tray holding a plate of his famous nachos, rooting for his Seahawks.

But, just like any artist, Rocky had his muse.

And, more so than anyone or anything, he found his rhythm in the woods. Logging was his profession and setting a choker was by far his best composition.

A celebration of Rocky’s life was held on June 8 at Reconciling Pentecostal Assembly in Phoenix. His final encore will take place afterward in Washington, where friends and family will gather to spread his ashes in the forest.

If you’re wondering what you can do in Rocky’s memory, here are a few ideas: discover a cure for cancer, send him a birthday wish each Aug. 27, learn how to play an instrument, call someone to say, “I love you,” bet on the Seahawks for Super Bowl 2020, hug a tree.

Patrick was an avid NASCAR and drag racing fan. He spent his teen years driving fast cars on Highway 101 and he loved it when local law enforcement would give chase without success, a common activity during those 1950s and ‘60s when there was no other entertainment.

After his military service, he returned to the Harbor and married Rebecca (Barker) Jackson at the end of 1968. They resided in Port Angeles until his death. He is survived by his former wife and brothers Bruce, Tom and Paul, sisters Kathy, Penny and Teresa and sons, Michael, Nathan and Brian.
