Our beloved dad, Charles A. Furr passed away at Regency Columbia Village in Boise, Idaho on July 4th, 2020. He was 92 years old.
He was born in Warrenton, Virginia on April 9, 1928. His parents were Jackson and Kathrine Furr. He was the seventh born of 13 children. He met our mother, the love of his life, in Alexandria, Virginia.
He had four children with our mom: Charlene (Randell) Hodgkinson of Boise, Idaho, Dusty (Mitzi) Furr of Waynesboro, Pennsylvania, Karla (Mike) Gerleve of Boise, Idaho, and Dean (Lori) Furr of Alamogordo, New Mexico. Our family moved to Alamogordo, New Mexico in 1966 where he got a job at Holloman Air Force Base on the test track. While in Alamogordo our parents owned two separate businesses, the Oasis Mobile Home Park and The Seat Cover (Levi store). Dad always had a second or third job. He loved to work. He moved mobile homes as a side job. In 1975 he went to work on the Alaskan Pipeline in Prudhoe Bay, Alaska and worked there until 1977, then returned to Alamogordo. During the 40 years they were in Alamogordo they made many dear and lifelong friends. They loved it there.
Our parents moved to Boise, Idaho in 2006 to be closer to other family members.
He leaves behind 4 children, 14 grandkids, 27 great grandkids, 2 siblings (Georgia Dawson and Virginia Furr), and many dear friends.
He is preceded in death by his wife Vera Furr, his son Charles Allen Furr Jr., his granddaughter Sage VanCleave, and 10 of his siblings Alice Trenum, Mable Canard, Wesley
Furr, Jack Furr, Howard Furr, Harvey Furr, Joe Furr, Elizabeth Wines, and Ruth Slayton.
Our dad liked attention. He loved to talk about his family and past jobs. Before he passed he discovered his love for Christ. He would often say, “I love my wife, I love my family, and I love God.” We will miss him.
