Bonners Ferry Herald, Thursday, Jan 4, 2007
Chester (Chuck) E. Cogburn, 80
   Chuck passed away Dec. 24, 2006 at the Spokane home of his companion Phillis
Moore, surrounded by his son Cal, Phillis, and te prayers of all who held him
close to their hearts.  Chuck was the youngest of twelve brothers and sisters
born on July 10, 1926, to SudieAnn and John Cogburn near the Midland-Odessa area
of Texas.  
   Raised in extreme poverty, chuck left his family at 17 and joined the Navy
where he served honorably during WWII.
   Following his discharge from the Navy he moved to Montana where he met his
future wife Beverly Kennedy to whom he remained married for 33 years.
   During their marriage Chuck and Bev raised five children, Sydne, Cal, Jeff,
Connie and Luke.  Chuck loved to be outdoors in nature, readily admitting that
the company of most animals to be preferable to that of most humans.  He was a
keen observer of nature and passed his love of the outdoors on to his children.
   We would like to express our sincerest thanks to Coy Barfield PA-C at the
Spokane VA for his tireless efforts, both professionally and personally, that
allowed dad to experience a quality of life despite his medical challenges. 
Words cannot adequately express our gratitude.
   Additionally, thank you to the staff at the VA for your caring.  Hospice of
Spokane team members Kris Englert RN, LouAnn Himel MSW, and Kenny taught dad
that strangers can care for others unconditionally.
   Any donations in remembrance of  Chuck can be made to either the VA or
Hospice of Spokane.
