WARDEN – The bodies of a father and his 6-year-old son were recovered Sunday after their canoe capsized on Friday. The 32-year-old father from Othello and his three sons ages 6, 8 and 10 were out at the Columbia Wildlife Refuge to go fishing on Friday, and officials said, sometime before nightfall, their canoe sank. Deputies believe the 10-year-old was able to swim to shore and endured up to seven hours of cold weather before being found by family members. The body of the 8-year-old boy was recovered early Saturday morning, according to the Grant County Sheriff’s Office.
