Military Honors

STEVENSVILLE - Richard “Dick” Leo Neville, 84, of Stevensville passed away Tuesday, March 21, 2017 at St. Patrick’s Hospital in Missoula. He was born March 1, 1933 in Kalispell. Although he was the son of John Leroy Neville, he was raised by Ralph Curtis and mother, Myrtle Mae Boles.

By the time he was ten, Richard could tell a spruce from a pine by the smell of its sawdust. As a kid, he helped out around the family’s sawmill in Olney. As a young man he felled trees, drove a log truck, helped build a sawmill, and became a head sawyer—all while learning to weld, cut, and repair machinery. When he decided to build a log house he invented machinery that could straighten and notch logs for which he had 9 U.S. and Canadian Patents. He could turn out an even diameter log as long as 60 feet. This became the trademark of Neville Log Homes.

Richard is survived by wife Nancy of 40 years; Brothers Dale Curtis (Alaska) and Loren Curtis (Washington); Sisters Ardyth (Punky) Neville Welch (Washington) and LaDonna Curtis Webley (Oklahoma); Daughters Connie Neville and Debby Truax (Montana), Kelly Ehlers (Kris) (Utah), and Vicki Gray (Derwin)(North Carolina); Sons Rick Neville (Leslie)(Montana) and Cody Neville (Becky)(Nevada); numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He is preceded in death by his parents, brother Warren Neville; sister Alice Neville Wargo, Rosemary Neville Lake; and sons, Terry and Mark.

The family expresses their gratitude to the following for their care in the past years: Fresenius Dialysis for 7 years, numerous nurses and doctors at Saint Patrick’s ICU, and special thanks to Pastor John Capen and his wife, Candie, and all the many prayer warriors from the Bitterroot Valley Church of the Nazarene. In lieu of flowers, we suggest memorials to the Bitterroot Valley Church of the Nazarene.

A graveside service with Military Honors will be held on Monday, March 27 at 11 a.m., at the Western Montana State Veterans Cemetery in Missoula. A Celebration of Life will follow at 2 p.m., at The Bitterroot Valley Church of the Nazarene in Victor. Condolences and memories may be shared with the family at www.whitesittfuneralhome.com.

Pass House Bill 224

Last Legislative session a bill was slipped in removing most exemptions for state property taxes for Veterans Organizations. This tax will start being assessed April 1, unless you have applied for an exemption and have had it granted. HB224 is a bill in the current Legislature designed to keep our state property tax exemption, but it was tabled in the House Taxation Committee. We need all Legion Family members and any of their family members or anyone else who is interested to immediately call the committee and vote to get HB224 out f committee.

 

Please call 444-4800 immediately and tell the operator that you would like to leave a message for the House Taxation Committee, the message is to Pass House Bill 224 out of the committee.

 

Pretty simple, but we need thousand of members and family members to make it happen, call today don't delay.

 

If we don't get HB224 passed if your Post  owns any property it will be taxed. We are still exempt from federal taxes, this will only effect State taxes.

 

Call now, the switchboard is open from 0800 - 1630 M-F; this must happen by next Tuesday.
