air—playing the gentle, nearly
imperceptible strains of ‘taps.
Warren Dale McGuire
came into this world on a
mid-September morning in
1921. A Depression Era farm
boy and the tenth of thirteen
children, his life would not be
without its challenges or its
rewards. Early years in Kan-
sas were spent tending farm
animals, busting clods be-
hind his father’s horse-drawn
plow, and later guiding that
same implement through
hundreds of acres of farm-
land. It was in such a time
and place as this that he grew
to respect the value of hard
work, honesty and family.
Dale excelled in football
in high school and was re-
cruited to play for Fort Scott
Junior College. Likable and
a competent student, he was
also a fierce competitor and
had immediate success both
on and off the field. While as
a youngster he had managed
to escape the scourges of po-
lio, smallpox, typhoid and
the like, he would not survive
his time at college without
succumbing to a more com-
pelling attraction—the wom-
an who, within a year, would
become his wife, Fran Ault—
in his words, a good-looking
sassy brunette.
The two were married on
the 5th of September 1941.
Three days later they set
off on a 1500 mile, five day
journey to Cottage Grove,
Williams, Mike (and Dana)
Berny, grandchildren Jed (and
Lisa) Walter, Sara (and Jeff )
Dreiling, Ryan Williams (and
Sophia), Jaimie (and Taylor)
Carr, Michelle (and Chris)
Lang, Marina and Natasha
Berny, and great-grandchil-
dren Sylas, Sierra, Eli, Summer,
Eva, Seth, Gwyneth and Clara.
Betty’s family would like to
thank all the Magnolia Gar-
dens and Signature Hospice
employees for the wonderful,
loving care they provided our
mother.

ily graveside service at Fir

ty’s behalf or make a donation

riding in the back of a small
trailer, to a place they had
never seen. They arrived in
Oregon with just 6 cents to
their names, but with high
hopes for a brighter future.
Three and a half months later,
however, Pearl Harbor would
transform their lives.
Dale enlisted in the Ma-
rine Corps and was in the
first wave to hit the beaches
of Okinawa. Sixty days later
he was badly wounded when
a misdirected naval phos-
phorous round landed on
his position. Miraculously he
survived and spent the rest of
the war—and then some—11
months in all—in burn treat-
ment centers.
The seventy-four years
which followed Okinawa
were a gift. A Glorious Gift.
That he had survived the
blast, let alone the ordeal
which followed, had been
something well beyond
luck.
Home once again, Dale
began where he had left off,
working in the timber indus-
try— for Woodard Lumber
and Weyerhaeuser as a mill-
wright, and later at Kimwood
Machine as a Production Su-
pervisor. During those years
he helped to guide the paths
of his children, and later
his
grandchildren—threw
a line into whatever stream
rolled by his window—hunt-
ed when the opportunity
arose—delighted in Oregon
sports, and visited often with
siblings and family who were
strung out from Kansas to the
Pacific. After retirement he
became a veritable master of
the vegetable garden, always
quick to share his bounty
with friends and neighbors.
It serves as no small com-
ment on his nature that,
together with his wife, he
devised a plan which, along
with the couple’s adult chil-
dren, provided Christmas—
not for each other—but for
strangers—area children and
their less fortunate families.
Of the success of this endeav-
or, he could not have been
more pleased.
Though he is gone now, in
my mind’s eye, I can still see
him—when the evening light
hangs low, sparkling through
the Norway maple—hav-
ing watered his garden and
mowed his lawn—relaxing
with my mother on their pa-
tio, sipping iced tea, chatting,
and considering what won-
derful things tomorrow might
bring. May he find the peace
he deserves. As for those who
remain, we have been fortu-
nate that he has walked be-
side us, taken our hand and
touched our lives.
Dale is survived by Fran
McGuire, his wife of 77 years
(Cottage Grove)— four chil-
dren; Warren McGuire, Jr.
(and Betty of Cottage Grove),
Dean McGuire (and Vivian
of Eugene), Diana Bell (and
Steve of Cottage Grove),
and Judy Roberts (and Scot
of Sherwood)—and also
11 grandchildren, 18 great
grandchildren, and 1 great-
great grandchild.
He was preceded in death
by all 12 of his siblings and an
infant daughter, Sharon Kay.

• A male subject was
observed waving a black
handgun around on
Gateway Blvd., though
“he was not menacing or
pointing the firearm at
anyone.”
• A subject was report-
ed in his own backyard
screaming and yelling.
The complainant did
not know if the subject
was injured, angry or on
drugs. Upon contact, it
was determined the sub-
ject was doing yard work.
