Ronald Ferrell, 74, passed away at his residence in Athol on March 28, 2011. Ron was born Dec. 12, 1936, in Alameda, Calif., to William and Dorothy (Service) Ferrell.

Ron moved to North Idaho in 1968 with his family.

A carpenter by trade, he discovered that work was hard to come by, but an awesome way of life and new friendships abundant. Ron's love for the outdoors and wildlife began in California but was realized in Idaho. He got to enjoy it all, hunting, fishing, retriever trials and even trips to the coast and Cozumel, how lucky is that?

Even better along the way, Ron met his best friend and the love of his life, Cindy. Through all these years Ron would say its been a kick for him and Cindy to celebrate each other, their kids, grandkids, great-grandchildren, his brother and a few close friends.... You guys know who you are.

SO THERE YOU HAVE IT FOLKS! I had a lot of fun on this journey.... Thank you for sharing it with me, and at the risk of sounding corny, it truly has been "A Wonderful Life".... Love you guys.

- Ron (Harold) W. Ferrell 1936-2011
