I grew up in the Edgemont 5th ward with a dozen or so boys Bryan's age and spent many hours in the Farnsworth home including playing basketball in the driveway and watching Saturday morning cartoons in the basement after a sleepover.
Soon after I was married, Lee called me to serve as his counselor in the BYU 126th Ward Bishopric. He and Gayle were terrific in that calling and endeared themselves to hundreds of young students that lived in the Pine View Apartments. Serving at Bishop Farnsworth's side is where I first learned how to minister as a church leader. I will forever be grateful that Lee took an inexperienced young man as his counselor and mentored me as a friend.
Having lived in Tokyo for 6 years now, Kaye and I often are reminded of the great service Lee and Gayle have rendered in this country, and understand their passion for all things Asian.
Our love to you Gayle. We will miss Lee.
We will be listening online to the service.
Kimo and Kaye Esplin
