We will miss him so much. He was such a good dad. Amazing sense of humor. He was a very hard worker and usually had two jobs, one with the SLC Fire Department (also an EMT), and one working construction or installing water softeners or windows etc. Built one of our homes doing almost all of the work himself. Veteran of the Korean War. Temple worker at the Jordan River Temple. He is the father of 8 children, 48 grandchildren and 68 great grandchildren. Glad he is with our mom after waiting 15 years.
