I have lost part of my heart, but I know my God has it in His possession. I thank you, Lord, for blessing me with fifty-five wonderful years with a very special, loving man who was an awesome husband, father, grandfather, brother and uncle. Dad and Grandpa, we love you and will miss you so much. But you will be in good company fishing with your dad and brothers. Catch the big one, the rapala black and gold #7.

Thanks for all the love, prayers, cards, calls, food and support from you all. God bless you for your concern and generosity. We are eternally grateful for your thoughtfulness. Thank you especially, Lisa Yates; we could not have done this without you.

Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. on Wednesday, January 7, 2015 at Washington Heights Church, 1770 E 6200 S, Ogden, UT.
