Howard Bergdoll

Last week I attended the funeral of a wonderful man of faith named Howard Bergdoll.

Howard was a Korean war veteran, longtime friend of my parents, pillar of the Spokane community, and father of one of my dearest friends. His oldest daughter Terry (my friend) is a huge dog lover and K9 supporter. In Howard’s obituary she requested that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to K9 Support NW or the Palm Springs Art Museum.

Thank you, Terry, for supporting our work and for so gracefully and beautifully carrying on your Dad’s commitment to service. Hugs and love to you always.

P.S. The newspaper printed our address incorrectly. Donations may be mailed to 1514 E 9th Ave, Spokane, WA 99202 or by credit card here:
