When the coach at West High retired in 1931, he reported to the Deseret News that Findlay "was appraised by Coach Ballard as the greatest basketball player he had ever coached at West High. His tall, lanky form at center, gets the tip-off from most any high school center, and his push-shot from all angles of the floor has made him famous among the sports editors of the city." In a follow-up article on December 2nd, 2005, the newspaper said "once Findlay graduated from West, he received scholarship offers from colleges all over the West, and even made a few recruiting trips to universities in Wyoming, and Nevada. In the end, he opted to stay in Salt Lake City and play for a recreational team, the Antlers." "Times were not easy, and seeing the sacrifice that my mother and sister went through, I decided to stay home and work to help support them, they had worked hard to get me through high school," Findlay says. "I couldn't just leave them to go play somewhere far away." He was credited to be one of the first players to use the hook shot and one handed shooting method. He loved the game of basketball. Once drafted into World War II, the Air Force wanted him to stay behind and play basketball in the states, but he could not leave the group of men that he was in charge of; he wanted to protect our freedom, and that is exactly what he chose to do. He was drafted in the Air Force by luck. He was drafted in the Army at first and was supposed to fly out with his men the next day. His pants were too short so they held him over for a day. The next day the Air Force took him. He was stationed 80 miles north of London at Harrington Field. He helped to put up all the telecommunications for the area. He was one of the first 500 to be deployed to England. He always enjoyed talking about basketball, World War II and Kanab. His first job out of high school was working at Zion's Wholesale Grocery. He started working as a stock boy, unloading freight trains. After the war, he took a different job with Zion's, selling candy, and other products to small stores, and cafes. He traveled throughout Utah in this business. In his travels, he discovered others selling punch boards. He introduced Zion's into the punch board business, where he doubled the profits for them. Later, he owned and operated his own punch board business. He was self employed for 25+ years until he retired at age 62. He enjoyed serving the many cafes, and taverns in the city and throughout the state, including Bill & Nadas, Manny's Taverns, The Tap Room, Busy Bee, Cotton Bottom, Dean's Coffee Shop, and The Silver King Lodge, to name a few. He enjoyed the many friendships that he made while working in this business. He loved playing with his family, and with his family going hunting, fishing, camping, boating, playing tennis, bowling, pool, and trips to Kanab every year. He enjoyed watching televised sports (sometimes a little too much). He also enjoyed planting his 120 tomatoes plants each year, eating from his many fruit trees, watching and nurturing his unique 50+ rosebushes. In his later years he enjoyed going to Wendover on the Fun Bus, visiting Classic Bowling Alley, and feeding the ducks at Fairmont and Liberty Parks. He is survived by his five children, Sandra (Carl) Spencer of Sandy, UT; John (Ruth) Findlay of Draper, UT; Shauna (Alan) Boyack of Idaho Falls, ID; Richard Findlay of Sandy, UT; David (Annette) Findlay of South Jordan, UT; 17 grandchildren; and 11 great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his wife, parents, his sister Gevene, a great-grandson Jason Bigelow Jr., and almost everyone else he knew! The family wishes to extend their sincere appreciation to his wonderful caregivers, Etta Maxwell, Camie Findlay, and Fiapo Halai, Wentworth Assisted Living, and Sandy Regional.

Kruger, Hilda Maaike Kramer Hilda Maaike Kramer Kruger 1929 ~ 2005 Hilda Maaike Kruger, a valiant and loving wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and sister, died peacefully December 27, 2005 of Alzheimer's disease at The Residence of Care Source. She was born January 25 1929 in Salt Lake City, Utah, the first child of Dutch immigrants, Karel and Fim Kramer. She graduated from West High School in 1946. Hilda married Alma E. Kruger February 13, 1947 in the Salt Lake Temple. They were the proud parents of 11 children. Blessed with a beautiful singing voice, she participated in the Girl's Glee at West High and later sang for years with the Allegro Chorus and Salt Lake Oratorio. Her love for the arts began early as she joined the Dance Club at West High. Her spirit soared while attending plays and musicals at Promised Valley Playhouse, Hale Theater and Kingsbury Hall. Having been taught to crochet, knit and sew by her mother she created elegant blankets, afghans and wedding dresses forever treasured as family heirlooms. She was an exceptional, faithful mother who worked hard to train and teach her children, especially the principles of the gospel of Jesus Christ. She believed in prayer, miracles, prophets, priesthood power, and in the Lord Jesus Christ. She did not consider herself much of a scriptorian, but taught her children to love the scriptures by faithfully reading Emma Marr Peterson's Bible and Book of Mormon Stories for Children. Everything in life that is of the most worth we received from her and dad. With 11 children at home there was always lots of activity, laughter and sometimes tears and we all became intimate with the business end of a wooden spoon. She baked delicious bread and made extraordinary homemade soup. She accepted people from all walks of life and made them feel welcome in her home. Two exchange students found their way in the Kruger home. Baseball was not a favorite sport, but she faithfully endured watching literally hundreds of games in support of her boys, and then made Bryner Clinic a regular stopover on the way home when the injuries piled up. When her girls pursued dance, she sewed costumes for scores of recitals and very much enjoyed the performances. Later on she sewed costumes for the Gunn Dance Studio and Salt Lake Costumes. She loved serving in the Primary organization. The supreme enjoyment of her life was working in the Salt Lake Temple with Alma for 13 years. Together they often said their temple experiences were the most precious of their lives. She would often say to her children, "make sure you say "Thanks a Million" when others blessed our lives and so we say "Thanks a Million" to Dr. Gregory Parkin and the many care givers at Willowood, Legacy House and especially The Residence of Care Source for their tenderness during the last six months. We also thank friends and relatives that have done so much over the years to bring joy and happiness to our mother. She was preceded in death by her husband, Alma; parents, Karel and Fim Kramer; sister, Gail Kip; grandson, Lorenzo Coulsey; and a great- granddaughter, Sarah Lyn Hunter.

Smart, Thomas Max Thomas Max Smart 1921 ~ 2005 The world is a little less wonderful today because our husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle and friend is not in it. Thomas Max Smart left this earth to be with his Savior on December 25, 2005. Tom (known as Max in his youth) was born March 21, 1921 in Preston, Idaho to Vernal and Clothiel Clayton Smart. Sadly, his father died six months later in a hunting accident. Loving grandparents, aunts and uncles stepped forward to help his mother raise little Max. In the small town of Preston, Tom met and later married his high school sweetheart, Claradean Goaslind. They were sealed for time and all eternity in the LDS Logan Temple on February 25, 1943. Through 62 years of marriage, the love between them was inspirational. Their union was blessed with three children. Tom was always generous with expressions of love and appreciation to his family. From an early age, Tom took great pleasure in music, and his talent on the trumpet became apparent. He excelled in his school bands, Navy band and The Men of Note, a dance band that entertained patrons of the Fort Douglas Officers' Club in Salt Lake City for 25 years. He also taught trumpet to students at Westminster College. Tom sang in and conducted many church choirs with an innate talent and flair that brought joy to others and himself. He served in the US Navy during World War II as a Chief Petty Officer. Tom was active in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, serving in bishoprics, leadership and teaching assignments. He served a mission to the North Central States. He and Claradean served a leadership mission in the Salt Lake City area. Tom, Claradean and the children lived in Idaho, Utah and Colorado before settling in Salt Lake City where Tom worked as a mortician and funeral director for Larkin Mortuary. He felt honored to help grieving families, and his kindness was very much appreciated. In retirement, Tom and Claradean enjoyed "snowbirding" in St. George, Utah. Tom had a talent for connecting with people. It seems that everywhere he went he either met an old friend or made a new one. He will be missed by so many people. Tom is survived by his loving wife, Claradean, children Kathy (Ron) King, Sparks, NV; Cindy (Steve) Lewis, Taylorsville, UT; and Michael (Karen) Smart, Boise, ID; grandchildren Matt, Amy, Jon, Stephanie, Kellie, Tim, Annie, Allison, Megan, Peter, Sara; five great-grandchildren; sister Karen (Ross) Hansen, Preston, ID; and brother Carlyle (Shirley) Bowers, Kaysville, UT.
