A Memorial






The Gus Top Ten

Brian Honea, who has been a friend of our family for a long time, came from Texas last month for a visit. Brian worked for many years with my dad. While he was here he shared many funny stories with us about my dad. We started talking to him about a shirt he made for my dad years ago. Brian nicknamed my dad "Gus". The shirt had my dad's company name on the front and "The Gus Top Ten" on the back. The shirt meant a lot to my dad and he kept it all these years. We just came across it not long ago when we were going through my dad's things. I took a video of Brian reading the top ten and giving his explanation of what they meant. If you knew my dad very well, you will enjoy hearing the top ten.

All the Gus's except for Gus........

A Picture


At the time of his passing my father was serving as the Young Men president in his ward. This picture was taken at a Young Men activity where my father was watching the boys rappel. The young men recently presented my mother and Lauren with this picture signed by each of them.

A Letter

Mrs. Kay Snow,

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your thoughtfulness of others at the time of your husband's death. I know this is a difficult time for you and all those who knew and loved him.

The decision to consent for eye donation takes a great deal of courage. It may give you comfort to know that because of his amazing gift, a man age 53 and a woman age 60 have been forever changed with the gift of sight. Both were blind prior to Earl's gift and both will be forever grateful to a caring stranger and his loving family.

On behalf of the Utah Lions Eye Bank, we sincerely thank your family for your support of donation.
