                Lewis Lyle Flint passed away at The Springs at Mill Creek on March 14, 2023. Born on February 9, 1930, at their home in Firth, Idaho, he was the eighth of ten children born to Frederick and Ellen Flint. The family moved to Idaho Falls, Idaho when he was a boy where he grew up and graduated from Idaho Falls High School. He loved music and was a member of the concert/marching band playing trumpet. After graduation, he became a member of the Army National Guard and started college studies at Linfield College in McMinnville, Oregon. His education was put on hold when his Guard unit was activated and sent to Korea.

                In the service, he held the rank of corporal with the 116th Engineering Combat Battalion. After his return home to Idaho, he and Doris Collins were married in 1952, and they moved to McMinnville where he resumed his studies graduating with a Bachelor of Arts degree. During this time, Lew and Doris became the parents of three children, Hugh, April, and Paulette. In 1961, the family moved to The Dalles where Lew worked for the Department of Corrections as a Parole and Probation officer. He retired after 25 years with the Department. In the 70's Lew and Doris purchased a parcel of land in the Mosier area where they lived the rest of their days growing a vegetable garden, peaches, hogs and cows from time to time, and branching out to grow barley. Lew enjoyed hunting, fishing, target practicing, and country drives with the family. He was a strong Christian man committing his life to Jesus as a youth. He attended Calvary Baptist Church until a group started Chenowith Baptist Church and most recently attended Rowena Baptist Church.

                He was preceded in death by his wife in 2013. He is survived by his children, five grandchildren and eight great grandchildren as well as his younger brother Donald. He was known by folks in the community as the Whistler for obvious reasons and often carried his trumpet with him to share his music. For many years, he played Taps for Memorial Day services.
