Allie M. Vannoy passed away Monday, Jan. 26, 2015, at St. Joseph Regional Medical Center. He was 103.

Al was born Sept. 12, 1911, in Idlewild, N.C., to Joseph and Lillian Vannoy, the eighth of nine children. In 1931, his father and brother, Ocie, headed west in search of work and settled in Idaho. In 1938, he married Edith Webb in Lewiston.

Edith and Al farmed in Cavendish for nearly 50 years and raised their family, Janet, Don and Stan. The Vannoys then thoroughly enjoyed retirement. Some of their favorite hobbies included restoring antique cars, fishing on Dworshak, and traveling to nearly every state in their motor home. They also spent time in Arizona.

Al loved to tell his childhood stories from the 1920s in North Carolina. Many of these stories were lovingly incorporated in a book written with the help of his wife of 76 years, Edith. The title of this book summed up much of Al's outlook on life: "A Fast Car, A Pretty Woman, and a Little Fun Every Day." Al Vannoy was a one-of-a-kind Southern gentleman who never met a stranger.

Al was preceded in death by his parents; four sisters and two brothers of North Carolina; a brother, Ocie Vannoy of Lewiston; and his beloved daughter, Janet.

He is survived by his wife, Edith; sons and daughters-in-law Don and Joyce, and Stan and Susan; six grandchildren; seven great-grandchildren; a sister-in-law, Helen Vannoy; and numerous nieces and nephews.

Memorial contributions in Al's honor are suggested to Orchards Methodist Church or Cavendish Methodist Church.

Funeral services will be held at 1 p.m. Saturday at Malcom's Brower-Wann, with burial following at Normal Hill Cemetery.
