     Karl J Stott, age 78, passed away peacefully in his sleep on Wednesday,
November 19, 2003 at his home in Provo, Utah.

     Karl was born on April 3, 1925, Meadow, Utah, to Karl and Venice Bushnell
Stott.

     He married Geneva Amaryllis Noland on June 10, 1947 in the Manti LDS
Temple. She preceded him in death, July 21, 1988.

     Karl married Karen Kay Fokken on November 25, 1989 in the Salt Lake LDS
Temple. 

     Karl grew up in Salina, Utah and graduated from North Sevier High School.
He served in the United States Army Air Force during World War II. Shortly
after graduating from Brigham Young University with a Bachelors Degree in
Accounting, Karl worked for Utah Power & Light Company where, after 35 years
of dedicated service, he retired as Senior Vice President and Chief Financial
Officer. Karl raised his family, overshadowed by the Wasatch Mountains, in
Salt Lake City and Provo.

     As an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints,
Karl served in many positions including Stake Missionary, Counselor in the
Bishopric, Young Men's President, Ward Clerk and Stake Clerk. In 1991 Karl and
Karen served an LDS mission to the New York City Visitor's Center.

     As a member of the Cougar Club, Karl was an avid supporter of Brigham
Young University. He retired in his home in Provo only a few blocks from the
Marriot Center and the Lavell Edwards Stadium where he could be fully involved
in B.Y.U. Karl loved to travel. Many summers were spent exploring the famous
national parks of Utah, visiting Sea World, Disney Land and the Redwoods of
California, Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado, Yellowstone, the coast
of Oregon and Washington, Glacier National Park, Branson, Missouri and famous
sites of the midwest, Canada, and abroad through Europe and Israel. He was
always anxious to share his experiences and sites of skyscrapers and the
Broadway venues of Manhattan after each of his many visits to New York. If
Karl wasn't traveling, he loved to work in his beautiful yard. If there was an
extra inch for another tree, Karl would plant it. He was especially proud of
his beautiful roses. Family came foremost in Karl's life. He was especi!
 ally sensitive about the welfare of all.
