Dorothy, I send my sympathy on the death of Uncle Gord. Norma sent me the clipping out of the Newspaper after the services were over. Our family loved visiting your dad when we came to Utah to visit. The boys loved seeing his video and his book on hunting. He will be missed. Gary (Udell's son) passed away in November, so they will be greeting each other up there. Sincerely, DeLores Pace.

Dear GrandPa Pace ~
I have truly been honored to have known you. You welcomed all of my children into your family, and made them feel like they were truly important to you as well. You flew to Seattle for Davey's missionary farewell, attended numerous school events locally. You provided many blessings and the best potato salad ever. You gave great advice, and did it with kindness. You told really funny jokes and made Sunday dinner a center for family, fun and sports. You were a movie...

We were fortunate to have known Gordon Pace as a friend - a quiet remarkable man of many accomplishments, a gentleman in the truest sense, always with a ready smile. We enjoyed his stories of his family's journey to Utah, his boyhood, and his first meeting with his Lizzie, all told with great good humor. He lived a life of dignity and joy in his family. His influence on others' lives will be felt in many ways and we shall miss him, but our loss is eased by great memories and the knowledge...

Grandpa,

I love you from the deepest part of my guarded heart, and will miss you more than I ever imagined. You truly were MY grandpa, and I will do my best to honor your memory by honoring my potential.
Do not stand by my grave and weep. I am not there, I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn rain. And when you wake in the morning's hush, I am the sweet uplifting rush of...

Mr.Pace, You taught me so many things in such a quiet manner. I learned my love for horse's,how onery they could be. The love for dogs, and how onery they could be. and the love for balance, and how onery it could be. I've been away from Bountiful for a long time. I've never foregotten the patience and love he always gave me.

Grandpa...what can I say to the only man I ever considered a father. You have been the most wonderful, loving, compassionate, caring, concerned, exemplary, delightful, sweetheart of a Grandpa that anyone could have. It is difficult to put into words what I feel for you, as they could never convey the depth of your heart and soul. As Derek wrote to me..."Grandpa Pace was a shining example, from head to foot, of what an imperfect mortal looks like when he spends his life emulating our perfect...

Our family grew up down the street from the Pace family. I'm Karl and Mary Adamsons daughter, Mary Ann Binks. I used to work at Paces Dairy Ann. I loved working with grandma and grandpa Pace. What a wonderful family he has.
Dorothy, we think of you often and remember listening to you and my mom singing and playing the piano. What fun memories. I also enjoyed working with Ralph and his children. That was one of my first jobs. I really enjoyed it and learned alot.

We love you...

What an example Grandpa was. I have always and will always look up to him.
I was always so excited to go and see grandpa because I knew when I looked into his room, there would be a big smile to greet me. There was never a dull moment with grandpa. I loved listening to his stories! Especially his hunting stories. When he told them you could feel the love he had for it.
Grandpa...I love you with all of my heart and I will surely miss you!

Great Grandpa Pace - What a storyteller! He was very sharp his entire life and always had an interesting story or two to tell. He has left a wonderful legacy. You will be missed Grandpa! Much love
