Luther Edward Quigley, 86, of Cocolalla, Idaho, passed away peacefully on Friday, March 10, 2017, surrounded by his family at the Hospice House in Hayden, Idaho.

Born in Lexington, Mo., to Luther and Juanita Quigley. He was a resident of Cocolalla for many years until later he moved to Post Falls, Idaho, in 2013. Luther had a very interesting life. He was a soda jerk, bowling pin setter, shoe shiner, worked on a dairy farm, drove a team of horses, was an Eagle Scout, and a Golden Glove champion — all before the age of 14.

He was a diver tender, firefighter, and auctioneer, worked on the Hoover Dam, Libby Dam, and Grand Coulee Dam as well as blowing out train tunnels in the mountains of Montana.

His passions were his coon dogs, mules and hunting.

He owned Tri Con Bolt for the last 40 years in Cocolalla. He serviced many farmers in the Northwest, making many friends along the way. He was a true salesman. He built his first home at 18 and his home in Cocolalla.

He is survived by his wife Ellen Quigley of 54 years; his brother, George; his children, Bob, Mike, Mark, Scott, Prior, Jan, Shane, Pete, Heidi, Juanita, Linda, Shelly, Shawna, Sheryl, and Debbie; and numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

He is preceded in death by his father, Luther Sr.; his mother, Juanita; a sister, Alma; and a daughter, Sarah.

He will be missed by all. A memorial service will be held on Saturday, March 18, 2017, at 1 p.m. at Bell Tower Funeral Home, 3398 E. Jenalan Ave., Post Falls, ID.
