At the time they were much youger, and they went on and on about how awesome he was for doing that. He was very special, I loved him and Betty very much

To the big man in paint pants - I remember you always working, and for some reason with a ladder! I remember the strong, silent, loving way you loved Betty, it will always stay with me. Maybe that's why I married the type of man I did. Thank's for all of your love.
All my love to everyone - Laura Jean
PS: Give Betty a big hug for me.

From the little girl next door... His silent example of Chirst like behavior is a treasure I hold dear to my heart. I remember once when my dad was working late and very busy being the bishop, we came home to find that the lawn had been mowed. Just like magic! (I'm sure it happened more than once). There are so many wonderful memiors for me, New Years Day Celebrations, Saturday "Come as you are Parties", laying on the lawn between our houses watching the stars. But the best memory is, when I looked in his eyes I knew he loved me. I love you Huck. Annie

I will remember Huck with great fondness. He always had time for the kids in the neighborhood. He allowed me to interview him about his World War II experiences for a school paper. I will miss him! God Bless.
