Paul Douglas Monson 1943 ~ 2007

Paul Douglas Monson, age 64, passed away December 1, 2007 in Salt 
Lake City. He was born Feb. 28, 1943 in Enid, Oklahoma to Kenneth and 
Kathleen Hansen. He married Eloina Iriarte April 1, 1975 in La Paz, 
Bolivia. Our father was a modest man. God couldn't have blessed us 
with a better dad. He met his wife in Bolivia, and spent the rest of 
his life in devotion to her and his family. All he did was for us. He 
loved hot rod cars, hunting, fishing and southern gospel. He talked 
of his sisters often and was very proud of his Oklahoma roots. He was 
raised as a Christian and attended Assembly of God Church. He proudly 
served in the US Navy as a sonar man during Vietnam and also served 
for many years in the US Air Force reserves. He often bragged about 
having both submarine Dolphins and Flight wings. He spent many years 
as an aircraft mechanic for Boeing. Every life is a gift and lesson 
from God. His lesson to you as you read this is to live your life 
unafraid to talk to the ones you love. Be grateful for every moment 
God gives you. Paul wasn't famous, he wasn't popular, but he was a 
good man, and he was our dad, and my husband. We love you. Funeral 
services will be held, Fri. December 7, 2007 at 12 noon at the Valley 
Assembly of God Church, 4700 South Bangerter Highway. Inurnment, Utah 
Veterans Memorial Park. Funeral Directors, Valley View Funeral Home.
