Dad was a WWII Veteran. He served in the Navy in the Pacific Theatre. He served our country honorably and we are all very proud of him. He loved and raised horses. He loved hunting. He was always working on cars and repairing them for family and friends. He retired from Utah State Parks and Recreation, a job he very much enjoyed.
He served in many callings in the LDS church and was a faithful servant of the Lord until the end. His testimony of the Savior and the Book of Mormon strengthened many testimonies. We all knew he loved the Lord.
He loved his family and they always brought him great joy. He will be deeply missed. We love you Dad!
