A6 Hood River News, Wednesday, June 24, 2015 POLICE LOG O bituaries June 16 to 21 Paid notices Dorothy Radliff Dorothy Evans Radliff, 95, a longtime Hood River resi- dent, went home to Heaven gracefully on Wednesday morning, June 17, 2015, at Providence Hood River Memorial Hospital. Dorothy was born on Aug. 7, 1919, in Whittier, Calif., to B. Ross and Ruth (Kilmer) Smith Evans, joining her sister, Ruth, 20 months her senior. During that time, her fa- ther was managing a meat market while attending Sem- inary to become a minister, and her mother was studying g e n e r a l music, voice and piano. World War I was just com- ing to an end, and Woodrow Wilson was our 28th pres- Dorothy ident. In 1922, B. Radliff Ross was called to his first pastorate in Portland, Ore., and a result, little Dorothy officially be- came an “Oregonian” – a title she would claim for the rest of her life. It was in Port- land where her brothers Frederick Ross and Ben- jamin Ross Jr. (Pat) were born, and in late fall of 1924, with four children in tow, B. Ross began a new assign- ment as pastor of the United Brethren Church in Tillam- ook, Ore., where baby sister Eileen was born in 1926 and Dorothy and her family lived through her sophomore year in high school. During the Depression years, Dorothy’s father held evangelistic meetings to re- cruit new members for small churches throughout Oregon that had been forced to close, or were on the brink of clos- ing due to lack of money. As a result, Dorothy completed her high school years in Cor- bett, Hood River, and Eu- gene, where she graduated in 1937. After her graduation, the Evans family moved back to Hood River, where her father became pastor of the (old) Hood River Valley Christian Church on Barrett Drive. It was in Hood River that her friend Madeline Wells (Ed- wards) introduced her to a college boy named Richard Radliff, who at the time was dumping cherries on the cherry packing line at Nick- elsen’s packing house to put himself through school. Dorothy often said that her life truly began when she winked at Richard while he was working, causing him to blush furiously and look over his shoulder to see if someone was standing be- hind him. Dorothy’s father officiated at Dorothy and Richard’s wedding on July 4, 1941, at the Hood River Valley Chris- tian Church. They lived in Corvallis while Richard fin- ished his last term of col- lege, and then traveled to many locations throughout the United States after Richard was called into ac- tive duty by the Army in De- cember 1941. Their first son, Richard Jr. (Dick), was born in June 1944 in Lawton, Okla., while Richard was sta- tioned at Fort Sill. Shortly after Dick was born, Richard was deployed to Germany and Dorothy returned to Hood River until he re- turned. After the war, and once again living and working on the family orchard in Hood River, another son, Doug, was born in February 1947, followed by a daughter, Lau- rie, in January 1956. Dorothy lived the rest of her life in Hood River, working as a housewife, Scout den mother, 4-H leader, Sunday school teacher and sports mom dur- ing her child-raising years, and later in retail sales at Stones Ski and Sports, The Gadabout, and Apland’s Jew- elry in Hood River. She lost her beloved Richard in April 2007, just two months before their 66th anniversary. Dorothy loved her family, always putting their needs and wants before her own. She also loved to dance, play golf, travel, be outdoors and laugh – often infecting those around her with her merri- ment. She loved the Hood River Valley Christian Church, her Bible study group, and spending time with her many, many friends – all of whom loved her dear- ly and will miss her very much. Dorothy is survived by her son Richard (Dick) Radliff and his wife, Teri, of Hood River; son Doug Radliff and his wife, Lily, of Husum, Wash.; and daughter, Laurie Radliff Branson, and her husband, Floyd, of Hood River. She is also survived by grandchildren Jeff Radliff, Jill (Radliff) House, Jody (Radliff) Loop, and Seth Chandler; and great-grand- daughter, Hannah Hart. In addition to her hus- band, Richard, Dorothy was predeceased by her brother Fred Evans in 2013, sister Ruth (Evans) Wickersham in 2011, sister Eileen (Evans) Bostwick in 2009, and broth- er Benjamin Ross (Pat) Evans Jr. in 1944. Dorothy was a blessing to all who knew and loved her. Our lives are forever blessed because of her life, and will be forever changed as a re- sult of her passing. Memorials services are planned for 1 p.m. Saturday, June 27, at Hood River Valley Christian Church, 975 Indian Creek Road, Hood River. In- terment will be at Idlewilde Cemetery. Contributions may be made to the Hood River Valley Christian Church in care of Ander- son’s Tribute Center. Arrangements are under the direction of Anderson’s Tribute Center (Funerals • Receptions • Cremations), 1401 Belmont Ave., Hood River, OR 97031; 541-386-1000.

Ron Luse Ron Luse, of Mount Hood- Parkdale, Ore., was born 67 years ago in Texas, and lived in Kansas and Oregon all of his life.

WEEKLY SUDOKU ANSWER Sponsored by: mained close to over the years. Raised in Kansas City, Ron was the oldest of seven boys. He became the sole provider for the family at a very young age, and after recruiting and training his six younger brothers, he developed into a fine art the finding, claiming and defending of the best restaurant dumpsters in the neighbor- hood. He said they actually ate pretty well. He made it through most of the sev- enth g rade before he was able to land a job running a backhoe. T hat ended the dumpster diving days. Ron Luse At 17, he was invited to join the Army, and he was promptly sent to Vietnam. He had been “in country” just a few days, riding in the back of a personnel truck to his first assignment miles away. They were ambushed, and Ron’s first instinct was to dive under the truck. He was able to reach up into the cab and snag a rifle that was alongside the seat to help with the situation. By the time the remainder of the group reached their destina- tion, the little 17 year-old “Gandy from Kansas City” was notorious. With only his boot camp training and sixth sense, he saved many lives. He thought that was just a normal day in country, and was surprised by his hero’s reception. His service to his country as a combat veteran refined and defined Ron’s life. As a Special Forces team leader, he was awarded two Silver Stars and numerous other commendations. To paraphrase one of his team, “he was fearsome warrior if the situation required …. He was a team leader beyond compare … I am only here now because of his wise and infor med sense of judg- ment.” Ron was an accomplished logger, heavy equipment op- erator and fixer, builder, pilot, hunter, fisher man, dragster builder and racer, a craftsman of rare talent who brought life and beauty to a piece of metal, leather or wood. He developed and patented a special compound bow, and won many archery tournaments with it. He was an accomplished bow and rifle hunter and with his good friends Brad Fowler and Don Chandler, hunted throughout the Northwest. Ron was funny, smart, ad- venturous, feisty, irascible, bratty, and at times fero- cious. He was very loving and caring to those worthy of it. Ron, we love you and miss you. He overcame many debili- tating obstacles, including serious health issues, but al- ways found a way to work through them. But one night in early May, his heart must have said, “brother, you’re coming with me” and they went peacefully into the Light. A memorial service is scheduled for 1 p.m. Satur- day, June 27, at the Parkdale Baptist Church, 6310 Dee Highway, Parkdale, OR 97041. Ron would be beaming from Heaven if donations in his name were made to his church.
