Dee was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and served faithfully in various callings throughout his life. Dee loved to sing, golf, fish and garden. He was so fond of the Mutton Hollow area where he was born and raised and where he was able to return to live for many years. He loved sports of all kinds but his greatest joy was found in spending time with family. We have all benefited from his example of faith, service and endurance. Dessert nights won''t be the same without you, Dad. We love you so very much!
