Services will be held at the Idaho State Veterans Cemetery at 10100 Horseshoe Bend Rd in Boise on Friday, May 20 at 1pm. Lee was born on September 25, 1921 in a dirt floor log cabin outside of Malad, Idaho and raised in Ruth, Nevada. He had three brothers: Leo, Jack, Keith; and, a sister: Rachel Transtrom. Lee went to work as a bell hop at The Nevada Hotel in Ely when he was 14 years old so he could take flying lessons. He saw flying airplanes as his ticket to bigger things. At the age of 17 Lee left Ely for San Diego to work in the Consolidated Aircraft Company to help make airplanes for the war. At 18 years old, Lee joined the Royal Canadian Air Force so he could get started with fighter pilot training. When America joined the war Lee came back to the United States and joined the U.S. Navy. One of Miff's famous quotes was "there are two kinds of Navy fighter pilots, ones that have been in the drink or ones that are going in the drink." Lee had 73 successful take-offs and 72 successful landings from the USS Shangri La. He had to ditch a Corsair in the Sea of Japan after engine trouble where he was picked up by a "tin can" later the same day. He was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross and two Gold Stars for his service in WWII. Quotes from his Navy Citations include: "Lieutenant Mifflin succeeded in destroying one enemy plane in the air and damaging three on the ground ... he strafed and destroyed a locomotive." "As a pilot of a carrier based fighter plane in the face of enemy antiaircraft fire he destroyed a submarine with two direct rocket hits. He assisted in silencing an antiaircraft battery with a fragmentation bomb. In addition he made a rocket attack scoring direct hits on a merchant vessel leaving it burning and several strafing attacks on three large submarines. He participated in the destruction of a locomotive train." "He participated in five air strikes against enemy airfields inflicting extensive damage. His skill and courage were at all times inspiring and in keeping with the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service." In his typical low key approach, all Miff would say when his wide-eyed grandchildren would ask about his service is "two in the air, three on the ground, two in the water and one train". On August 9th 1945, Lee flew in the formation providing fighter support for Bock's Car, the B-29 Super Fortress that dropped the atomic bomb on Nagasaki leading to Japan's surrender less than a week later. From November 15, 1948 to April 10, 1949 Lee flew C47's for the US Air Force and won an Air Medal for "successfully completing one hundred missions from Western Germany to Berlin in connection with the Berlin Airlift. Confronted with a difficult schedule, flying a narrow corridor, maintaining precise timing, often under adverse weather conditions, this officer's efforts resulted in the delivery of many hundreds of tons of food and supplies to the people of Berlin. His determination and skill in the performance of duty reflect the highest credit upon him and the United States Air Force." He flew for the Navy in the Korean War. Lee loved to tell the story about a reconnaissance mission he was flying over Greenland. Miff saw an object come at his airplane at the speed of light, stop, hover then fly away. He was flown to Washington DC to be debriefed. The officials told Lieutenant Mifflin to repeat for the record about the UFO that "he never saw anything". In 1953 Lee became a Captain for Allegheny Air Lines which later became US Air. After 30 years with the airline, he retired as a Boeing 727 Captain. During his career, he met the love of his life, Doris Duelle, a 19 year old stewardess who was a refugee from WWII in Germany. This was the beginning of a love affair that lasted over 50 years. Lee (Miff) and Doris (Oma) have two beautiful girls: Michelle (Brad) Surkamer and Rene' (Bob) Miller; and four grandchildren: Bradley, Greta and W. Henry Surkamer; Travis Miller. Miff and Oma retired to Boise in 1983 where they spent their time with family and friends. Miff loved golfing at the Plantation Country Club with buddies, Wheeler, Father Don Riffle, the Colonel, Boom Boom Bilideau and Beez. He had a hole in one on the 16th, the hole next to his home at the Plantation. Miff and Oma loved to entertain their friends and family in their home on the course. When an airline crash made the news Miff would say, "He didn't fly the airplane". When confronted with the fact that the airplane had major mechanical issues or the tail had fallen off the airplane, he would say, "it doesn't matter, you need to keep flying the airplane, no matter what". We all salute you Captain Mifflin, and we're proud that you are continuing to fly the airplane. The family would like to extend a special thank you to St. Luke's Home Health Team for all of the assistance and friendship you have provided over the past four years.

Mark Eugene Velasquez, 44, passed away in Fayetteville, Ark., on Friday, May 13, 2011. Mark was born Sept. 11, 1966 in Biloxi, Miss., to Tony and Darlene Velasquez. Mark's formidable years were spent in Caldwell, Ida., where he attended Caldwell schools, made many great friends, and honed his ability as an exceptional baseball player. Mark was a member of the graduating class of 1984 from Caldwell Senior High School. Mark had a love and passion for baseball. He played baseball as far back as anyone can remember. As a kid he played little league and Babe Ruth, and as a teenager, he played American Legion Baseball and was a member of the Caldwell Silver Streaks. Mark's baseball ability as a catcher, pitcher, and first baseman allowed him the opportunity to play in college, as well as for a league in Canada. Over the years Mark and his teammates won many games, tournaments, and trophies. But it wasn't all about the game, his teammates and the friendships that developed from those teams is what Mark cherished most. Aside from his love of being on the baseball field, Mark enjoyed skiing especially up at Bogus Basin. He also had a love of music and most recently played the guitar in a band in Arkansas. Mark attended Washburn University in Topeka, Kan., where he earned an economics degree in 1993. He attended law school and earned his Juris Doctorate at the University of Arkansas, Little Rock, in 1996. Mark practiced Immigration and Naturalization law in Fayetteville, Ark., from 1996 until his death. In 2002, his daughter Evann was born. Mark lovingly referred to her as "my best girl." He loved spending time with Evann and enjoyed taking her to some of their favorite places such as the lighting of the square at Christmas time. Mark is survived by his daughter Evann Velasquez of Fayetteville, Ark.; his mother, Darlene Velasquez of Caldwell, Ida.; his sister, Julie (Alvaro) Molina and her three children, Eric, Nicole, and Mark of Fullerton, Calif.; his sister, Lisa Velasquez of Caldwell, Ida.; his uncles, Joe (Connie) Velasquez of Orange, Calif., and Martin (Rachel) Sanchez of Turlock, Calif.; his aunt, Eva Jo Hunt of Caldwell, Ida., and many cousins. He is preceded in death by his father, Antonio Velasquez; his paternal grandparents, Jose and Carmen Velasquez; his maternal grandparents, Kenneth and Grace Hunt; his paternal uncles, Paul and Elias, and his paternal aunts, Laura, Florence, and Lupe. Mark was many things to many people, but a few of his friends recently said it best, "Our memories are endless. Our youth unmatched … I love you my friend and will miss you greatly," (Doug Oates). "Lover of laughter…lover of music … loving father … a dear friend and confidant … truly an empty spot where you once were … I shall miss you greatly," (Ellen Huffman-Warren). The family wishes to thank all of you for your friendships, your thoughts and your prayers. A special thanks to Mark's friend Brandon Beard who took care of him during the last few weeks of his life. A memorial service will be held on Tuesday, May 24, at 2 p.m., at Dakan Funeral Chapel, Caldwell, Ida. Immediately following the memorial service, a celebration of Mark's life will be held at Orphan Annie's Restaurant in Caldwell.
