Heber was the Bishop when we moved into the Cannon 4th Ward. He was the first to visit us in our new home. He has always held a special place in our hearts. Richard and I send our love.

Remembering my uncle. An amazing man who accomplished a great deal in his life. I have many fun memories of the home in Salt Lake as well as the home where he and Aunt Katherine raised the girls. I know he is at peace now.
