Alferd William Wing
Alferd William Wing Alferd William Wing, 82 of Caldwell, passed away Wednesday, June 18, 2008
at West Valley Medical Center of natural causes. Funeral services will be held at 2 p.m. Monday,
June 23 at Dakan Funeral Chapel in Caldwell. Al was born Oct. 8, 1925 at Caldwell, the only
child of Frank and Willie Lee Arnold Wing. He was reared on a farm on Sunny Slope and educated
in Caldwell, graduating from Caldwell High School in 1943. Al farmed two family homesteads with
his dad and worked for Crookham's after high school. He was introduced to Bethel Pettis by mutual
friends in 1949 and they were joined in a lifelong marriage on Oct. 8, 1950. Two daughters,
Marcia and Sheryl, were born of this union. Al began his career in law enforcement with the
Caldwell Police Department as a patrol officer in 1957, working his way through the ranks until
he retired as Captain in 1985. Never one to be caught up in the politics of the job, he most
enjoyed serving the public, especially his many years as a detective. He became proficient in
the darkroom, developing the department's crime and accident scene photos for many years. Al also
became a fingerprint expert, participating as one of only 20 officers from across the US invited
to attend the FBI Academy in a pilot program geared toward enhancing the skills of local law
enforcement agencies in the late 1960's. During his second stint at the Academy he wrote a paper
that was used as a fingerprint training tool in many subsequent classes. Following his retirement
from the Department he worked part-time at First Security Bank in its security operations until 1998.
Outside of work, Al had two passions: trapshooting and the Odd Fellows Lodge. He began shooting with
a friend in 1946 and won his first trophy in 1951. During the early years of his marriage and raising
a family he didn't have time to shoot often - but as his girls grew older Al got serious about the sport.
It took him nearly 40 years to hit his first 50,000 targets by 1988, but only ten years to reach 100,000
targets in 1998. He was only the second shooter in Idaho to reach that milestone, and was inducted into
the Idaho Trapshooting Hall of Fame that same year. In 1993, at the age of 68, Al suffered a detached
retina during a shoot and was told his shooting career was ended unless he learned to shoot right-handed.
This was no small feat for a life-long lefty, but with typical determination he was back shooting 200
straight targets at the Lewiston meet three years later. In addition to shooting, Al was an active
member of the Marsing and Caldwell Gun Clubs, serving on the Caldwell Board for sixteen years and as
its President for four. His other passion was the Odd Fellows Lodge where he was a member of IOOF
Lodge #10 since 1948. He served the Caldwell Lodge in nearly every capacity including Noble Grand,
and has been a Trustee of the Lodge for many years. He was the Caldwell Representative at the State
Grand Lodge a number of times and had reached the position of Deputy Grand Master before stepping down
for health reasons. At the time of his death, Al was serving as Caldwell's Chaplain. Al was preceded
in death by Bethel, his wife of 57 years, in November, 2007. He is survived by daughters Marcia Wing
(Gregory Garlick) and Sheryl Wing, and by his "adopted" daughters, Kristine Rickenbach and Teresa
Rickenbach, all of Boise. The family would like to thank the staff at West Valley for their caring
and kindness during Al's last days. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Bethel Wing
Memorial Scholarship Gem of the Mountains Rebekah Lodge, PO Box 472, Caldwell, ID 83606 or another favorite charity.

Robert A. "Bob" Copsey 
Bob Copsey passed away at his home in the early morning hours of Feb. 26, 2006 at the age of 86. It was pure "orneriness" that allowed him to keep the cancer at bay as long as he did, no doubt mixed with a reluctance to leave his children and grandchildren, without the lovingly forceful guidance he provided throughout his life. Services will be held Thursday, March 2, 2006 at 10 a.m. in the first Presbyterian church, 950 W. State St., Boise. Bob was born in Westerville, Neb. on July 6, 1919, to Harve and Ruth Copsey who raised him, along with his two brothers, on their farm. He graduated high school in 1936 and was working as a power company lineman when W.W. II broke out in Europe. Enrolling in a crash course sponsored by the Alliance Nebraska Elks Club, he completed the equivalent of two years of college studies in 90 days in order to qualify for cadet pilot training in the Army Air Corps. His air Corps service took the new, young lieutenant to northern Africa in 1942 where he piloted B-17s. As Allied forces began to drive north, the 99th Bomb Group was transferred to southern Italy. Bob was promoted to Captain and completed his 50th combat mission on Christmas day 1943. He was 24 years old. Decorated numerous times, including two Purple Hearts, he was the only pilot able to successfully bomb a key bridge in the Italian mountains crucial to the Allied advance. During his time overseas he was corresponding with Dee Dee Olsen back in Broken Bow and they fell in love. As he neared the end of his tour, he made perhaps his boldest decision of the war and sent her a letter with a proposal of marriage. There was one condition attached: Bob asked if his father could present her with the engagement ring to seal the deal before he returned home. When he got off the train in Omaha some months later she was waiting, the engagement ring already on her finger. They were married April 10, 1944. After the honeymoon and two years as a B -17 instructor, Bob landed a job as pilot for Chicago Southern Airlines and they moved to Memphis, Tenn., where their first two children, Douglas and Richard, were born. In 1946, Bob accepted an offer from his aunt, Pearl Copsey Hutchinson, and her husband, Joe, to come to work for them in a business they had started a few years earlier in Boise, called Idaho Barber & Beauty Supply. they headed west and soon after they settled in Boise, Dee Dee gave birth to their third child, Dee Ann. during the 45 years he remained active with IB&B, Bob proved to be an astute businessman, growing the company into one of the largest wholesale supply houses in the northwest. Bob took advantage of the great Idaho outdoors as an avid bird hunter. In order to sharpen his shooting skills, he joined the Boise Gun club, where he was trapshooting tournaments throughout the west and regularly bringing home a trophy or two. He was also active in the Shoshone and Hi-Yu trapshooting fraternities, and greatly enjoyed the many friends he and Dee Dee made in those groups. His other outdoor passion was golf, and as a charter member of Crane Creek Country Club, he enjoyed many years on the links with the wonderful friends he made there, especially his great pals in the Dew Sweepers. He raised his family with a strong, loving hand, and will be remembered as much for his kind, warm heart as his ardent work ethic. He was a leader, a gentleman, a loving father and caring husband. The biggest loss of his life came in October of 2003, when his wife Dee Dee passed away after 59 years of marriage. He is survived by two brothers, Dr. Gayle Copsey of Spokane and Harry Copsey of Albuquerque, and by three children, R. Douglas Copsey and wife, Cheri, Richard Copsey and wife Nancy Self, Dee Ann Patterson and husband Scott; grandchildren Kate, Camille and Meredith Copsey, Jason Patterson and wife Brooke, Rachel Jacobus, Cheri Catharine Workman and husband Dave; and great grandchildren Bailey and Davis Patterson, and Abigail Workman. Bob would appreciate any donations made in his name to a favorite charity. |
