July 15, 1928 ~ May 27, 2016
David Longshaw Record, our beloved husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, uncle and friend passed away surrounded by his loving wife and family on Friday, May 27, 2016 in Salt Lake City, Utah. He was born on July 15, 1928 in Salt Lake City, Utah to Odes Bodine and Dorcas Eve May Longshaw Record, the fourth of their five sons. He married his eternal sweetheart and "darling" Maxine Ruff on January 18, 1946 in the Salt Lake Temple.
Dad lived in Utah his entire life and worked for the Newspaper Agency Corporation for 44 years starting as a linotype operator and eventually moving into the different aspects of the printing business as technology advanced. He was a faithful member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints serving faithfully in many positions including Bishop, and, his favorite position, as the ward and stake organist for more than 60 years. Music was a very special part of Dad's life. He was always willing to share his talents playing his organ for anyone who came to see him. We will miss hearing the beautiful music he played.
Dad was very artistic. In his retirement, he enjoyed many hours building model cars, airplanes, making special little birdhouses and little treasure boxes for all the great-grandchildren. His model train village was really something to see. Everyone young and old delighted in watching him run his train around the beautiful little village he built. Dad loved his nightly ice cream treat and his donut after his daily tuna fish sandwich.
Dad is survived by his loving wife, Maxine of 70 years, his children, David (Patricia) Record, Michael (Nanon) Record, Susan (Ronald) Oldroyd, Kelly Humphreys (son-in-law), Barbara (Dave) Rufener, his brother Sherman (Joan) Record and Betty Record (sister-in-law). Dad has 25 grandchildren and 64 great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his daughter Christine, his parents, three brothers and a great-grand son Archi Oldroyd.
The family would like to thank Dr. Gregory Parkin and the staff at IMC Medical Center for their kind and loving care of our husband and father. Mom would also like to thank the wonderful members of Imperial II Ward for their love and kindness.
Funeral services will be held Saturday, June 4, 2016 at noon at Imperial II Ward, 2738 South Filmore Street (1450 E.). Friends and family may visit Friday, June 3, from 6-8 p.m. at Wasatch Lawn Mortuary, 3401 South Highland Drive and Saturday from 11:00 to 11:45 a.m. at the ward prior to the service. Interment will be held at Wasatch Lawn Cemetery.

How I loved to here him play the organ in church. The absolute favorite of the Goaslind family was "The Holy City" piano/organ duet he played every Christmas with Lynette Dale. No one plays it they way they did. Every time I came to visit Imperial II, Dave and Maxine were always happy to see me and ask how I and my family were doing. Thanks for the memories.

We consider it great fortune and a blessing for our acquaintance with David and Maxine Record. David is a beautiful soul, a consummate Husband and Father, honest, kind, a hard worker beyond comparison, a tremendous musician with a love for sacred music, and singularly devoted to our Heavenly Father, his dear Wife, and their family. Solemn and sincere condolences to the Record family, and a full heart of gratitude for his friendship with us, and deserved praise for a life so very well lived. May God bless David, Maxine and all their family. Salutations and Love.

My Uncle David L. Record was a fundamental part of my life and positive inspiration even when years passed without seeing him in person. I was able to enjoy playing music in Junior High School because he generously let me borrow his trumpet. No one knew the value of music better than Uncle David.

I owe so much to Dave Record. He was always a true friend to the Olsen family and of course to the Imperial II Ward. A lot of my appreciation for fine musicianship and moving music came from his masterful organ playing. Especially memorable were his duets with Lynette Dale. Even as a child, I would come alive in meetings if the two of them were playing. What a joy it is now to think of him accompanying heavenly choirs.

Uncle David was a fantastic musician and it was he who first taught me to play the piano when I was eight years old and even though I do not play much to this day, I have always had a love for music, thanks to Uncle David. I always loved to come to Salt Lake City to visit Uncle David and Aunt Maxine. I'm sorry that I will not be there for the memorial service. My love to all the family.
