Bonners Ferry Herald, Thursday, Nov. 3, 2005
   John Woodrow Chervenell, 83
   “Jack”, as we all knew him, passed away at his home at the age of 83 after a
short illness.
   Jack was born Nov. 8, 1921, in Northport, Wash. He grew up in several small
towns in northern Idaho, as his family moved frequently seeking work during the
Depression.
   Jack enjoyed playing sports and was quarterback of the football team in
Bonners Ferry, where he graduated from high school in 1940.  He attended the
University of Idaho until the outbreak of World War II, when he enlisted in the
U.S. Army Air Forces.
   During flight training in California, Jack and his pilot, Raymond Beaumont,
attended a live broadcast of The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet.  Jack was
trained as a radar observer in the P-61 aircraft, “The Black Widow, “  flying
night missions with Ray over the Philippines and New Guinea.
   At the end of the war, Jack moved to Spokane, Wash., where he took a job with
the great Northern Railroad.  Jack married the former Benicia “LaJoy” Barnes in
March 1949, and raised two sons and two daughters.
   Jack built a 38-year career with the railroad and after lengthy stints in
Spokane and Seattle he retired in 1986 to the community of Mill Creek, Wash.
   He enjoyed several hobbies, including woodworking and collecting Jim Beam
decanter bottles.  Jack is survived by a son, Dale Chervenell; two daughters,
Cheryl Lindgaard and Karyn Dunn; three grandsons, Robert Chervenell, Brandon
Chervenell and Zachary Dunn; five granddaughters, Chiloe Chervenell, Bridget
Chervenell, Michelle Lingaard, Nicole Lindgaard and Kelsey Lindgaard; plus
several great-grandchildren; three sisters, Marie Cowan of Sequim, Wash., Betty
Douglas and Phyllis Collyer of Bonners Ferry; a brother, Robert Chervenell of
Everett, Wash.
   Jack was preceded in death by his wife, LaJoy; their son, Gordon; his
brother, Richard Chervenell; and his parents John and Velosta Chadek Chervenell.
   A graveside service will be held at 2 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 5, at
Evergreen-Washielli Cemetery in Seattle.
