OBITUARIES
Richard Kindwall
Jan. 20, 1941 – Jan. 13, 2016
Richard Clarence Kind-
wall, 74, of Dallas died Jan.
13 in Lake Havasu City, Ariz.
Richard, who most knew
as “Dick,” was born to
Clarence and Fern Kindwall.
He and his older sister,
LaVaughn, were raised in
the rural
farming
town of Al-
bert City,
Iowa. He
graduated
from Al-
bert City
H i g h
School.
Dick spent many of his
formative years hunting in
Iowa and working in North-
ern Canada at remote fish-
ing lodges, where his obses-
sion with the outdoors and
adventure was cultivated.
He attended Buena Vista
College and the University
of Iowa, where he studied fi-
nance and literature.
He followed in the foot-
steps of his father with a ca-
reer in banking, which took
him to San Francisco in the
early 1960s where he worked
as a bank examiner for the
Federal Reserve.
Several years of extensive
travel while examining
banks led to an opportunity
to form Bank of Willamette
Valley in Dallas, along with
his parents, and sister and
brother-in-law Lloyd Pen-
ner. This bank served the
community of Polk County
for 25 years.
Dick loved beautiful West-
ern Oregon, and it was there
that he met the love of his
life, Judy Lund. They mar-
ried on Feb. 22, 1974.
Dick was well known for
his exceptional sense of
humor and quick wit. He
was 100 percent character; a
man with varied interests,
experiences and a great con-
versationalist.
He was an avid fishermen
and hunter. Dick enjoyed
sharing this passion with
friends, family and made a
point of passing these skills
onto his daughters. He had
many adventures through-
out the Pacific Northwest
and beyond and had a spe-
cial love for the Oregon
Coast where he spent so
much of his time.
Dick and Judy developed
a love of the Arizona desert,
where they spent time over
the past 15 years. They cre-
ated another network of
wonderful friends in Lake
Havasu.
He was preceded in death
by his sister, LaVaughn.
Survivors include his wife,
Judy; daughters, Joni Kind-
wall-Moore, Cheryl Laverty,
and Christina Kindwall; four
grandchildren; and extend-
ed family.

Magill, 88, of Independence
died Jan. 6 following a long
illness.
He was born in Seattle to
Nilmah Miller Snyder Magill,
and Fulton Young Magill.
Ben’s father worked for
the telephone company, so
the family moved from Taco-
ma, Wash., where Ben at-
tended Stadium High
School, then to Palo Alto,
Calif., and then to Woodside,
Calif.
The community was in
the country, so Ben was able
to have a horse, and attend-
ed Sequoia High School in
Redwood
City, Calif.
The family
m o v e d
back to
Ta c o m a ,
and Ben
started col-
lege at the
University
o f Wa s h -
ington,
and ma-
jored in
engineer-
ing. He joined Psi Upsilon
fraternity.
Ben was drafted into the
106th Airborne Air Control
Squadron and served as an
Air Force Traffic Controller
during 1946 and 1947 at sev-
eral airbases in the U.S.
When the war ended, he
returned home and decided
that his scholastic interests
were really farming, dairy
science, and agricultural. He
graduated with a Bachelor of
Science degree in Animal
Science from Washington
State College in 1952.
He then attended Oregon
State University to get his
master’s degree in dairy pro-
duction science in 1954, fol-
lowed by a Ph.D. degree in
dairy and animal husbandry
in 1960. He was a graduate
assistant for the Dairy De-
partment at Oregon State.
While at Oregon State,
Ben met Nancy at the end of
her senior year. Nancy had
already been accepted to
her dietetic internship in
Rochester, N.Y.
They were married at St.
Mark’s Episcopal Church in
Palo Alto on Sept. 12, 1959.
They made their first home
in Corvallis, and then moved
to Monmouth to be closer to
the farm.
Ben was a member of the
Elks Club, belonged to the
Jaycees in Corvallis and In-
dependence, and was an
Eagle Scout in his early
years. Ben was an active
member of the St. Hilda’s
Episcopal Church in Mon-
mouth.
He held positions of sen-
ior warden and clerk of the
bishop’s advisory commit-
tee. He took pride in up-
grading the church grounds
and taking care of the build-
ing. Ben served on the board
of directors for Dallas Hospi-
tal, which is now part of
Salem Health.
Ben ran for the Polk
County Commissioner posi-
tion in 1979 and stayed in
office for three terms, a total
of 12 years, during which
time he reportedly ended up
working with the most com-
missioners in the history of
Polk County.
Ben and Nancy supported
the Western Oregon Univer-
sity Fine Arts program, Polk
County Museum, St. Paul’s
Episcopal Church Music
Guild, and Willamette Her-
itage Center (formerly Mis-
sion Mill Museum) and the
Elsinore Theater’s renova-
tion project.
After Ben retired, he en-
joyed going to Burgerville in
Monmouth for coffee with a
great group of friends.
He was always fixing
something or inventing a
way to be more efficient. He
also created a pond in front
of their house that many en-
joyed for fishing and riding
on a barge that he built.
Survivors include his wife
of 56 years, Nancy Lee
Richards Magill; daughters,
Nancy Anne, Heather Lee
(Larry) and Robin Elizabeth
(Paul); and four grandchil-
dren.

with his convictions
Wednesday.
He cited concerns about
minors having more access
to marijuana, banking issues
for marijuana businesses,
and that federal law still pro-
hibits use of the drug.
“I strongly oppose it,” he
said. “And I will always be
opposed to it.”
Ainsworth’s view did not
win the day, as commission-
ers Jennifer Wheeler and
Craig Pope approved the
amendment.
Pope did so while noting
he shares many of
Ainsworth’s concerns.
“But for all of you working
in the industry, I applaud
you for being thoughtful and
intent on resolving those
concerns,” Pope said. “Our
function is to do the best job
we can in applying intelli-
gent time, place and manner
provisions in county law
that will protect everybody
that we can.”
