Oh how I wish you could have been around for this grand event pops! Today’s announcement of the Stadium expansion is fabulous. Love and miss you tons.
Just what can I say about this great man he was more than my dad he was my buddy we use enjoy going on rides to go pick fruit or just to go to enjoy each others company we use to talk about earth science and volcanic eruptions which was our favorite subject to discuss on our rides he loved his family with every breath he had but most of all he loved my dear mom and missed her very much since she died in 2008 it seemed like some of dad died to but he stayed cause his work on earth was not quite finished. But now he's is reunited with the love of his life and his son my brother Darn who died of a freak accidental death in 1979 and all his beloved family who died before him are having agreat family reunion in heaven and though my heart is heavy with grief from loosing you dad its also my greatest relief just knowing your there with mom and Darin and waiting for me to come home
Good morning everybody friends & family. First start out with Saturday gave me the assurance that there is football in Heaven” Dad when called home said I’ll only go if you can guarantee my Utes will BEAT USC” and I can be a part of it! The memories that I have a my father are several how can you sum up 51 years of knowledge with a man into a short four minute talk to me impossible, but I’ll try. I remember dad in the early years going fishing, campimg, our greenhouse which he loved to garden, catching and barbecuing grasshoppers and Darin asking what we were doing with them? And dad replied (jokingly)we are eating them and of course Darin had to try. Various family trips to Disneyland, Indiana, CO and many more.
Backing out of my garage in CA and hitting his Cadillac and did I stop Oh no I continue to go down the whole driveway and his Cadillac, working at the Utah games with him talking about sports and his love for the Utes embedded in my mind sitting down in front of the radio not watching it on TV (Although my kids probably think that TV was invented yet) listening to it with him every game basketball and football he never missed a beat he & I would go for a ride just to listen to the game.
His Jokes “Wrinkled old prune” Good night John boy!
Vac u dent his dental invention which I believe components are still used today, York Appliances, he handy man and could fix anything, including Dr York sewing up my chin at 2 AM, X-Mas shopping by bus just to spend one-on-one time with each one of the kids.
July 28, 1979 Darin‘s death hit him hard softened him physically crushed him mentally I remember that day as it was yesterday. The list can go on, but my biggest memory of my father is kneeling at the Salt Lake Temple yes albeit at age 5, having that opportunity on June 6, 1972 him giving the love of his life her biggest DREAM “to live with her family for Eternity” Having that is the biggest blessing and the Greatest memory that my father gave me and I love you for that. Dad thank you so much until we meet again God bless you

I was so sorry to hear that Lee had passed away. I have so many childhood memories of the fun times I spent with Lee and Louise. He was a great cousin.
Robert, sorry for your loss.

We both enjoyed deep conversations
