peace through her positive outlook and counting her many blessings, in spite
of health challenges. She loved beautiful music, and played the piano for
church and for her family from her girlhood until into her 90s. She took great
solace in the scriptures and uplifting literature. She will be remembered for
her deep and genuine love for all around her, for her sense of humor, her
generosity and deep-seated goodness. She could speak out forcefully though
when she perceived injustice or error. She took great joy and pride in "my
grand family," which includes eight children, 32 grandchildren, 10
step-grandchildren, 100 great grandchildren, and numerous "adopted children."
Her children would like to acknowledge their great love and admiration for
her, for the example she set, the sacrifices she made for us, the happy home
she and our father built, in spite of lean times and difficulties, and for the
unconditional love and respect they freely gave us. Her descendants and
friends treasure the many letters she wrote in times of joy or sorrow, sharing
her wisdom and love as well as inspirational quotes from literature or
scriptures. She was preceded in death by her husband, by her son Homer,

Blanco, Charmaine Thomas
Charmaine Thomas Blanco 1934 ~ 2004  Charmaine Thomas Blanco, 70, died on 21
Dec 2004, Tue. She was with us for the last time on 19 Dec 2004, Sun. On that
day her family enjoyed visiting with her as they did every Sunday for the last
many years. There was no indication until she fainted and never regained
consciousness late Sunday evening that her time was short. We all expected to
have her company for several more years. She was born in Lovell, Wyoming on 15
Sept 1934 in Wyoming to Parker Emanuel and Wilhelmine Heiss Thomas and was the
second oldest of six children. At age 18, her family moved to Salt Lake City.
Preceded in death by her parents, and two sisters, Darla Farha and Nora
Thomas. She is survived by her three brothers Delano Thomas of Provo, Yale
Thomas of Salt Lake City and David Thomas of North Salt Lake, her four
children Curtis Blanco, Lisa Steed, Robert Blanco and Dana Cowles, eight
grandchildren, loved ones and friends. We miss her very much.  Charmaine
graduated from BYU with a degree in education. She eventually moved to
Bountiful where she resided for approximately 40 years. She was an active
member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and is sealed to
her children. Charmaine had a special talent with children and people in
general. As a grade school teacher for many years, her students regularly
scored among the top in the Davis County School district and she was often
asked by parents after her students graduated from her classes if she would
teach the next higher grade the next year so her students could have her again
the next year. She had a genuine love and respect for all her students,
especially the students that other teachers and people considered to be
problem students. The children excelled and wanted to do well in her class
because they felt her genuine love. People felt comfortable around Charmaine,
many people liked to tell her their problems and discuss their life situation
with her. She received many phone calls and visitors helping people in this
way.  Charmaine loved spending time with and doing fun things with her
grandchildren. There were girls nights out that she spent with granddaughters
where they would spend time together and do fun things. There were boys nights
out with the several grandsons where she would take them bowling. The children
were always excited when she came to pick them up. Charmaine has a special
place in her children's hearts because of the love and memorable times she
gave to the grandchildren. We are all richer for having known her and we look
forward to seeing her again and having her association when we too pass to the
other side. Funeral services will be held Monday, December 27, 2004 at 11:00

husband, dad, grandpa, brother, peacefully passed away in his home Wednesday,
December 22, 2004.He was born in Salt Lake City, Utah on November 10, 1921, to
George and Elizabeth Bai Dibble. He attended Longfellow Elementary, Bryant Jr.
High, and graduated from West High School. In 1941 he met Frances Jack over a
backyard fence. It was a love that was meant to be. They were married January
15, 1942 and were later sealed in the Salt Lake Temple. He joined the army in
1942 and served during World War II in the signal corps in North Africa and
Italy. Following his tour of duty, he returned to Salt Lake to be with his
sweetheart, Frances. Soon after his return home, he began working for the post
office and continued there for many years touching lives where ever he went.
He also sold World Book Encyclopedia's and advertising. Through his work he
made many dear friends that he treasured to the end. He loved the outdoors.
His favorite pastime was taking his family kite-flying, hiking, fishing,
hunting, and swimming. He was such a devoted husband, dad, and brother.
Besides Frances and his family, his greatest love was his church service. He
loved everyone! He was always the first one to reach out to shake a hand or
give a pat on the back. He had many callings in the church including Bishop
and serving on the stake High Council. But the calling he cherished the most
was working with those who were less active. Because of his sweet, gentle way
and his deep love for his Heavenly Father and Savior Jesus Christ, he was able
to bring many back into the fold. Wallace is survived by his loving wife

the fish in heaven are at risk becauseJames W. "Wayne" Dyer has shown up with
his fishing rod. Wayne passed away peacefully in his sleep with his beloved
sweetheart, Jaunelle, by his side.  Wayne was born on May 18, 1939, to Otis
"T" and Myrl Dyer. On May 3, 1958, he married Jaunelle Pinkerton   the
sassiest girl in the class of '57. They "spawned" 3 kids, Phil, Tonya, and
Michele, who often gave them "fits and starts" but the days growing up always
ended with a smile. When Wayne graduated with a degree in Physics from
Henderson State Teacher's College in Arkadelphia, Ark., he joined the Army and

retirement in 2001, he was awarded the Commander's Award for Civilian Service
by the Dept. of the Army. Since Wayne retired, he and Jaunelle have traveled,
camped outdoors, fished and debated politics. Wayne was a dignified, noble and
honorable gentleman. His integrity was beyond reproach, although his opinions
were strongly held, and he rarely wavered, he always listened and respected
those who might disagree with his views. His gentleness was always on the
surface, but he was tough to the core. A "man's man" who always cared for his
family and friends. The world is a much better place because of his all too
brief time in this existence. Wayne is survived by his wife of 46 years,
Jaunelle, and their children   Phil Dyer (Debra), Tonya Elkington (Steve) and
Michele Medina (Mike). Wayne was blessed with 5 grandchildren   James W.

RichardAllen Schroader 1961 ~ 2004      Richard Schroader, 43, died at his
store in the early morning hours of December 23rd, while working towards his
dream. Richard was the third of ten children born to Fred and Lynn Schroader
on April 13, 1961.  He spent his childhood in Farmington and Kaysville,
graduating from Davis High School in 1979.  After serving a mission in Paris,
France, Richard married Tacy Larkins with whom he had two wonderful children,
Katie and Nathan.  In 1991, he married Leslie Wells, instantly making her
three young children-- Nick, Lauren and Ryan-- his own.  Richard's early
interest in electronics placed him on the forefront of the computer
revolution.  His passion and vision for new technology led him to a career in
advertising where he served as CTO of Dahlin Smith White for 14 years before
working as the Chief Information Officer of its parent company, EURO RSCG
Worldwide, in New York City.  Richard's work often took him away from his home
as he guided and directed agencies throughout the world.  These experiences
were some of the highlights of Richard's life, and the friends he made through
these experiences were some of the best and most important friendships he had. 
It was Richard's love for his family, and their confidence in him, that led
him to leave his job in New York and open his own computer store in Draper.
Richard's death came just as his dreams for InQuo Computers were becoming a
reality. Richard is survived by his wife, Leslie, and their five children; by
his parents and his grandmother, Ruth Schroader; his brothers John, Mike
(Hollie), Bill (Bonnie), Paul (AnnMarie), Russ (Keiko), Rob, Jake (Dani); and

Willoughby, Bud
Bud Willoughby 1930 ~ 2004  Retired Salt Lake City Chief of  Police, Elbert L.
"Bud" Willoughby passed away peacefully at the home of his daughter on
December 20, 2004. Bud was born December 23, 1930 in Pueblo, Colorado. Bud was
married to Verna Mary Hilden and they had six children. A beloved husband and
father, Bud was a mentor to his family and friends. Never concerned about
himself, Bud has always maintained a tremendously positive outlook on life
continually focused on helping those in need. His long career in law
enforcement brought about many positive changes to public safety and the
quality of life we sometimes take for granted. Bud was the chief of police in
Salt Lake City from 1977 to 1988, this being the longest term in the history
of the SLCPD; and from 1973 to 1977, he was the chief of police in Pueblo,
Colorado. He was hired by the Kansas City Missouri Police Department in 1954,
and rose to the rank of major before becoming chief in Colorado. Education was
an important part of his life and career. He attended the University of Kansas
City, Northwestern University, and the University of Kentucky. Bud received
numerous certifications in law enforcement throughout the country. He was a
graduate of the Federal Bureau of Investigation National Academy and the
F.B.I. National Executive Institute. Bud served on many boards which include
Major City Chiefs Association, International Association of Police Chiefs,
Legislative, Criminal Law and Procedure Committee, Utah Peace Officers
Standards and Training Council, Police Foundation, Boy Scouts of America,
Northwest Traffic Institute, Drug Abuse Law Enforcement Coordinating
Committee, Advisory to Westminster College, Utah Chiefs Association, Utah
Council on Criminal Justice, National Exchange Club, and many others. After
retiring from SLCPD, Bud continued his service to the law enforcement
community by being a consultant and training coordinator for Major City Chiefs
(MCC) and the National Executive Institute. Bud was an original member and
founder of the MCC, which has grown from 34 members to 63 major city chiefs
across the United States and Canada. He and FBI Director Kelly developed and
implemented more in-depth training for police executives by starting the
National Executive Institute (NEI). There have been 27 NEI sessions. The NEI
celebrated their Silver Anniversary in 2001. Bud was honored by his peers and
police executives across the country by being awarded the Hogan Penrith Award.
At the time of his death, in additional to his responsibilities to MCC and the
NEI, he was also a consultant for National Motorola Communications and
Electronics, Inc. He is survived by his wife, Verna, two daughters, Jenny Lee
Herrman (Tony Herrman), and Lizbeth Louise Rudy (Kenneth), three sons, John
William (Yong Hui), Timothy Urban (Robyn), and Mathew Lee (not married). As a
father, Bud has provided the greatest gift any family could ever hope for, the
gift of unconditional love. This love for wife, children, family and friends
is deeply instilled in all of us and his caring attitude and his always giving
philosophy will be manifested in those who know him for generations to come.
We love you Dad, we will miss you Bud, you have touched our lives forever.
Memorial services will be held Monday, December 27, 2004, at 12:00 Noon at the
