Alphonsus Pound Regional Medical Center in Boise, Idaho. A Celebration of his life will be held in the fall to be an- nounced at a later date. For those who knew and loved J.T, they would say that he was a kind, big hearted, gentle giant of a man. He had a passion for fast cars, motorcycles, and snowmobiling all of which began at young age and carried on throughout his life. He not only had a strong work ethic but he also loved to work. In his later years he was able to work alongside his brother Brian doing construction and could be seen driving heavy machinery perhaps a bit faster than it should go. It could be said that J.T was truly one who could not drive, “55.” J.T was a smooth talker and had been known for giving good ad- vice on more than one oc- casion. J.T read the entire Bible three times and could quote from it. He also liked animals. J.T was a friend to anyone, he appreciated good food and he loved to laugh. J.T lived life day by day and took whatever life dealt him in stride. He understood that “Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass, it is about learning to ride in the rain.” J.T will be missed. J.T was preceded in death by his mother Beverly Jones, father John F. Pound and brother Jason Pound. He was survived by his children John (Johnny) and Cody Pound; sisters Connie Lewis, Cathy Boyd, Roberta Stehle and Crystal Smith; brother Brian Pound; uncles and aunts: Donald and Peggy Thames, Anthony and Bonnie Jones, Blanche Kemp and Yvonne Day; nieces and nephews: Angela and John Sul- livan and family; Nicole Nelson and family; Kayla and Kelly Kowalski and family; Brandon, Curtis and Kristine Stehle, Sarah and Jeremiah Relka and numerous cousins, grand nieces and nephews. For those who would like to make a donation in memory of J.T the family suggests Best Friends Of Baker City (Pet rescue and adoption) through Tami’s Pine Valley Funeral Home and Cremation Services PO Box 543 Halfway, Oregon 97834.

Dorothy “Dot” Hathaway Baker City, 1921-2017 Dot was born in St. Helens Oregon on February 13, 1921. She passed Dot away Sunday Hathaway August 13th, 2017. She is preceded in death by her husband Wayne of 79 years, her parents Charlie and Dora Smith, her siblings Bernice and her husband Gene, Carl and his wife Stella, Evert and his wife Elsie, Verna and her husband Elmer, Barbara and her husband Fred. She is survived by her two daughters, Connie Carnagey, Jeannette Har- rop and her husband Ron. Two grandsons, Joseph Carnagey and his wife An- nitta, Philip Carnagey and his wife Angie. Also many nieces and nephews. Dot was a devoted wife, mother, aunt and many other titles. She fully sup- ported her husband Wayne in his many endeavors over the years. She camped with him and cooked while he was logging. She oper- ated a laundromat while Wayne worked operating heavy equipment. When Wayne was invited to vol- unteer at the headquarters of Jehovah’s Witnesses in New York, she went along and volunteered too. She worked in the laundry and had many stories to share about the experience. Wayne was invited to be the caretaker of the As- sembly Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses in Woodburn Oregon and Dot was happy to do her part. While there, they not only cared for the facility, they both provided hospitality for many traveling overseers and their wives, also many representatives from Head- quarters in New York. Dot was an excellent cook and she loved to pre- pare meals for her friends and family. She was well known for her peanut butter cookies, her whole- wheat gems that she baked in a cast iron gem iron and many other dishes. Dot will be greatly missed, but we look for- ward to seeing her again in the resurrection recorded at John 5: 28, 29. “Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memo- rial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, and those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment.” She loved to share this hope with others whenever she could. Over the years she was very active as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses. She studied the Bible with many people and encouraged her family to do the same. Many in her family are or have been full time evangelizers be- cause of her and Wayne’s excellent example. There will be a memorial for Dot on September 9th at 2 p.m. at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witness- es in Baker City located at 975 S Bridge St. For those who wish to make a dona- tion in memory of Dot may do so to www.jw.org.
