Dale Ridd Obituary
1928 ~ 2019
Our amazing father, Dale Ridd, passed away peacefully on November 19, 2019 at the age of 91. He will be remembered for his happy countenance, positive attitude and gracious heart. He loved everyone he ever met and they loved him too. He loved this life and lived his life to the very fullest while he was still able.
Dale was born at home in Hunter, Utah on May 17, 1928 to Heber Eugene and Etta Day Ridd. He was the fifth child and fourth son in his family of eight children. He grew on the family farm and learned to work hard at an early age.
It was love at first sight when he met Marta Jeanne Lambert at BYU. They were married on September 3, 1948 in the Salt Lake Temple. They had two sons and two daughters.
Dale was a very skilled builder and woodworker. He was a masonry contractor and then business owner and was successful in all he did. He loved music, singing, woodworking, restoring cars, riding and playing with horses, building horse carts and water skiing.
Dale is survived by his children Colleen (Ken) Howcroft, Sandy, Vern (Mitzi), Rigby, ID, Jim (Julie), Fruit Heights, and Debi (Scott) Hanks, Pleasant Grove; fifteen grandchildren; 33 great-grandchildren; siblings LaMar, Merrill (Codele), LaVelle Moss; sister-in-law Susan Ridd. Preceded in death by his wife; parents; four brothers and one sister.

We met Dale through our Home Building business as our rep with Standard Builders Supply. This led to a lifetime of friendship sharing our interests in wood turning which led us to attending several wood turning symposiums as well as travels to Phoenix and Mesa, AZ. with Dale and Marta. Whenever Dale would call our home if one of our 5 children would answer he would ask them which page number they were. He nicknamed Peggy, "Pattie" and called her the Table of Contents and Index pages. Of course Jay was referred to as the Title Page. We look forward to seeing each other again on the other side of our earthly veil.

We met Dale through our Home Building business
as our sales rep for Standard Builders Supply,
which led to taking trips with the Home Builders Association. Trips to Arizona kept us on the road with them to Phoenix, Lake Havasu and later Mesa. Flying, boating, golfing and sharing our interests in wood turning and attending wood turning symposiums together was awesome. He was a special friend and we loved him and Marta dearly. Whenever Dale called us, if one of our 5 children would answer, he would ask which page number they were. Jay was the Title Page and Peggy, (which he renicknamed Pattie), was the Table of Contents and Index pages. We look forward to seeing them again on the other side of this earthly veil.
