Dear Sharon,
I was sorry to read of Dee's passing. I always enjoyed working with you both at the Dugway Commissary. Dee is one of the nicest people I have ever met. He was always so friendly and helpful.
Thanks for your friendships! I have such fond memories of the years I worked in Dugway!
May our Heavenly Father bless you and your family with peace at this time.
Love,
Janet

My father was a great example of strength and he truly endured to the end. He always thought of others first. He was sweet, quite, patient and so willing to lead by that same example. Our family has truly been blessed by his humility and love and it truly will not be the same without him here with us. We appreciate our wonderful family and the many friends to Dad and Mom for their amazing love and support.

I will miss my Dad (Father-in-Law). I have never seen a person care and Love so many people. He cared for the people around him and dogs and cats that were left on the side of the street. He truly loved everything he came in touch with. He has been a very good example of what a Father should be. You can see his influence in every one of his kids and spouses, Grand Children and Great Grand Children. I will miss him camping, fishing and helping you in your home any way he could.
I loved him so very much.
Stephen Hansen ( Son-In-Law ).

I am so sorry for your loss. He really was a great father and grandfather. He will be missed by all those who knew him and his wonderful family. I have envied the closeness of your family for years and I think this closeness can be accredited to him for the way in which he raised you all.
God Bless you all during these hard times.
Love, Irina
