Kenneth Charles Farrer

I didn't know Dr. Farrer through classes or as a relative. Katie was a sorority sister at USU, and both of her parents helped me...and my family when I got married in Logan. Our wedding was in the Episcopal church in Logan 35+ years ago, and the Farrer family offered to provide music at our reception. At the time, I hadn't been to an LDS wedding, and I thought it was wonderful that they'd offered to play. Katie asked how many songs they should play, and I said, "Maybe you could play for an...

I fear that if I wait to find all of your addresses and mail a note to each of you, I will fail in my good intentions, so I will talk to you this way, and then if I can get letters written too, it will be a bonus.

Uncle Ken and Aunt Jane were like my grandparents on the Dibble side, because Grandmother died so young. They mentored me in many ways, and I have many fond memories of time spent with them and with the three of you. Their tastes and ways had a great effect on me in...

I have always been very proud of my Uncle Ken. I have a doll that he gave me when I was about 6 as a Christmas gift.....62 years ago. He was a very kind and caring person.

When I was a teenager visiting Logan, Uncle Ken who would take me along to his classes at Utah State University, and then for an ice cream treat. They were special moments that we shared, and I still cherish.

Dr. Farrer was an outstanding mentor at USU, and I was motivated to invest my working life as an educator thanks to his example of service and genuine concern for students. It impressed me that he was not content simply to remain in his relatively comfortable position in Logan. He wanted to return to the public schools and stay "current" in what he taught. Few professors are brave enough to do so.

I did not know of Dr. Farrer's time in southern Utah but am working at Southern...

One day when I was attending Garfield Elementary School eons ago, Dr. Farrer, a district administrator, substituted at our class. I recall he told us the Kipling story of the mongoose Riki Tiki Tavi (please pardon the spelling). I remember him as a kindly, dignified man with piercing eyes.

My thoughts turn today to a wonderful friend and coworker in Secondary Education at USU. I loved your father dearly. He is one of a kind, so thoughtful, helpful, polite and giving. I wrote him many times at the Bountiful House but never heard from him. I know he is in a better place and wished I had taken the time to visit him. He and Jane were special to me. I met Kathryn and Janet at USU - he talked well of his family and he was a great mentor for so many. God bless all of you at his...

I remember Dr. Farr from the first year at Olympus High School. He had a ready smile for you, even when he hadn't a clue which student you were. Had a reputation for fairness.
