Revo Somersille

Revo Somersille, 64, "entered into the hands of his Lord and Savior" on April 26, 2006.

He was born Dec. 30, 1941, in New York, N.Y., the son of William and Delicia (Holmes) Somersille.

Revo was raised in New York, where he graduated from the City College of New York and began his professional career as a certified public accountant. In May 2000, Revo received his master's in business from the University of Montana. After receiving his master's degree, Revo found his true passion to be teaching college students.

Revo always gave generously of his time. He served as a board member for the Lighthouse in Kalispell and served as a deacon at the Whitefish Assembly of God. Revo also sang in church choirs and participated in many Bible studies, where he established eternal friendships.

In 1998, the Montana Trial Lawyers Association awarded Revo with the 1998 Citizen Award for his "Honesty, Integrity, and Courage in the Pursuit of Justice" for his role in the Columbia Falls Aluminum Co. litigation, which resulted in a $97 million dollar award to the employees of CFAC.

Revo befriended and touched many lives wherever he went. He will be missed dearly by his family, his friends, students and anyone else who had the good fortune to see his smile or hear his laugh.

He was preceded in death by his first wife, Carmen, and his father, William.

Revo was the beloved husband of Brenda Somersille, of Stockton, Calif.; loving father of Revo Somersille and his wife, Alicia, of Stockton and Ross Somersille, of Las Vegas; and devoted "Papa" to Olivia and Austin Somersille, of Stockton. Revo is also survived by his mother, Delicia, and his sister, Aloma, both of New Jersey.

Internment took place May 3 at Glacier Memorial Gardens, in Kalispell.

The family suggests that memorial contributions be sent to either the Humphreys College Scholarship Fund, where Revo was teaching at the time of his passing, 6650 Inglewood Ave., Stockton CA 95207, or the Joyce Meyer Ministries, P.O. Box 655, Fenton MO 63026.
