January 24, 2023
Soon after graduating from Bonners Ferry High school in 1962, Chan attended Lassen Community College in Susanville, California, where he studied gunsmithing and graduated an accomplished gunsmith. Upon his return to Bonners Ferry Chan worked for Bonner Motor Supply (Napa), where he retired after 34 years. In 1985, he met Barbra Ann Block, and they married and spent the next 36 years together. Chan was a loving husband, grandfather and great grandfather. He very much enjoyed his family and was always ready to share a story from the past, recalling summers spent in the Northwest Territory as a youth, times hunting with his father along with other experiences with some well-known local people of this past. Chan loved the outdoors. He spent his free time hunting, fishing, camping and exploring the local area. Chan enjoyed spending time with family and friends in the shooting sports. In retirement, Chan purchased the equipment to manufacture 17 different caliber bullets. He soon built a reputation as a premier bullet maker, something he was proud of and was very meticulous about. He is survived by his wife, Barbara, stepchildren Kristy Kellogg (John), Bonners Ferry, Kathryn Cattaneo, Riverside, California, John Cattaneo (Jennifer), Amarillo, Texas, Annette Fulton (Tim) Bonners Ferry, Earl Hayworth, and Ray Hayworth, uncles Melvin Nagel and Gene Leonard, various grandchildren, great grandchildren and many other special family and friends. He is preceded in death by his father, Eugene Channing Nagel, and mother Shirleigh Anderson. |
