We are saddened to see the passing of Bro. Applegate. Our condolences to his wonderful family at this difficult time- you are in our thoughts.
Bro. Applegate was my seminary teacher at the old Bingham high school. I made sure I took his class the next year as I thought he was the best teacher ever. He will be missed.
