Dad loved life and lived it to its fullest. He saw beauty all around in all of God’s creations. Dad’s greatest joy in life was his family and the gospel and was a true disciple of our Savior.
Dad served an honorable mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the English Isles and later in life served a mission with his wife in Guatemala. He held many callings in the church, but his favorites were teaching and serving others. Dad was a dedicated member of the Sons Of Utah Pioneers.
