John Neal Wallin, 69, Viola
Born May 9, 1938, to John Otto Wallin and Sara Louise Benson Wallin in the maternity hospital in Coeur d’ Alene, Neal lived on the family farm at Black Rock and attended school at Black Rock and Worley. After leaving school, he farmed and logged in the Coeur d’ Alene area, and he spent a summer as a commercial salmon fisherman on Alaska’s Kenai Peninsula. It was also during this time that Neal began hunting and packing in the wild country of the St. Joe, Clearwater, Selay and Lochsa Rivers. This activity grew into a lifelong passion, and he kept pack animals and spent vacation time in those mountains for the rest of his life. Neal married Agnes (Ann) Lundt Jan. 14, 1961 in St. Maries. They resided in St. Maries and the small towns and logging camps of the Princeton/Harvard and Pierce/Weippe areas where Neal worked in the logging industsry. In 1967 they moved to Moscow and in 1974 they moved to their small farm in Viola. There, with the help of family and friends, Neal and Ann built the home they had planned and designed together through the early years of their marriage and they lived there until his death. From 1967 until his retirement in 1992, Neal worked at Washington State University, first as a herdsman in the Veterinary Pathology Department and then as a carpenter in the Physical Plant. Following his retirement, Neal and Ann were able to fully enjoy their time together, traveling throughout the western United States to call on friends and family, attend rodeos and logging shows and visit landmarks such as Mt. Rushmore and Scotty’s Castle in Death Valley. Neal and Ann tool pleasure in time at home, working together on their farm, tending their flower and vegetables gardens, experimenting with new recipes and food preservation methods or just sitting and reading by the fire. They were best friends. Neal often stated that he was “not much of a cowboy but a hell of a stockman”, and he took great pride and pleasure in tending to his meat and recreational animals. He also enjoyed reading, hunting, fishing, camping, knife making, carpentry, leather craft and woodworking. Most of all, though, he loved spending time with his grandson, Otto. Neal is survived by his wife, Ann Wallin, of Viola; his daughter, son-in-law and grandson, Lori Ann Wallin, Sam J. Taylor and Otto Dean Wallin of Coeur d’ Alene; a sister, Charlotta Blood, of Moscow; and a brother, Karl Wallin, of Las Vegas. Donations in Neal’s memory may be made to the National Rifle Association, the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation or a charity of choice. A memorial picnic in Neal’s honor is planned in early May and friends may contact a family member for further information. |
