life was held

Gray’s West & Co. Pioneer
Chapel with Pastor Dave
Deputy of Calvary Baptist

Alva was born October
6, 1923 in Rye Valley and
remained an Oregonian his
whole life. He was raised
on a farm with five sisters
and two brothers who rode
“Old Red,” the horse, to
school together.
He graduated from high
school in 1942 in Vale.
He was an athlete, par-
ticipating in high school
sports, football, basketball,
and was on the boxing
team. After graduation,
he worked side by side
with his father, Tona, on
their farm until he left to
serve his country in World
War II. This duty took
him to South Korea on
occupational duty where
he gained experience and
knowledge to operate
heavy equipment with the
13th Engineer Battalion.
He was honorably dis-
charged from the Army in
May 1947.
Alva used his G.I. bill
benefits to get his pilot s
license at a small airfield
in Harper, flying a Cessna
140. He enjoyed flying
himself and his friends
around Eastern Oregon,
Idaho and Washington...
but after he married his
sweetheart, Norma, he
never flew again
Alva met and married
the love of his life, Norma
Jackson all in the same
year. They were married in
Vale on August 10, 1951.
Alva and Norma were
married 63 years, and had
four daughters. He moved
his family to Baker City in
1970, and retired here
at the age of 62. He en-
joyed hunting and fishing
on the Snake River.
Alva’s career usually
always involved heavy
equipment operation and
provided an opportunity
to raise his four daughters
on a farm, together with
all the farm animals and
adventures.
Alva was simply a kind
gentleman with a big heart.
He worked hard, loved
strong, and lived long. He
served his country, pro-
vided for his family, was
loyal, humble, selfless,
and a fighter until his last
breath.
Survivors include his
wife, Norma L. Justus,
one sibling, Erma John-

and Milo of Baker City,
