end. Born July 3, 1911 in Salt Lake City to Charles J. and Hannah Trulsson
Eastlin, immigrants from Sweden who in 1894 settled in "Swede Town", an ethnic
neighborhood in the northern part of the city. Walter was the youngest and the

brings to close this generation of a Swedish-American family who sought and
grasped the American dream. Instead of finishing high school during those

family, which enabled his remarkable characteristics for devotion to family,
perseverance, integrity and an enviable work ethic. He held several jobs in
his career including service station attendant/mechanic, distributor of auto
parts and products, poultry processing and a plant manager for a popular ice
cream manufacturer. He married M. Isabella Shepherd, July 11, 1936 in
Evanston, Wyoming; their marriage was later solemnized in the Salt Lake LDS
Temple. As an active member of the LDS church, he gave genuine service to both
his God and his community. In 1992, he was preceded in death by his wife of 56
years. He is survived by his faithful dog Kita; son and daughter-in-law,
Richard S. and Ann Miller Eastlyn; three grandsons, Rich, Erik and his wife
Ruth, Ryan and his wife Emily and their two children Oskar and Hazel, all of
Salt Lake City. In his final years, Walter received extraordinary love and
personal care from his grandson Erik and Erik's wife Ruth, who together made
his last years so worthwhile and joyful - thank you! Also, special thanks to
all of the staff at Elderly Manor, Garden Terrace Rehabilitation and Hearts of
Hospice -your loving care shall always be remembered for making Walter's final

baby boy, age 15, passed away on Sunday, February 6, 2005. Carter was born on
August 23, 1989 to Chuck and Lita Smith. Although Carter remained a baby
during his time with us, he was able to teach all he encountered. He had a
smile that could soften any heart and a giggle that was absolutely contagious.
Through him, we learned the joy of service and unconditional love, and the
sweet comfort of cuddling. He attended Monte Vista and Windridge Elementary.
The family appreciates how much the children and staff at these schools opened
their hearts to our little boy. Carter loved school, and especially loved all
the attention he got there. Carter leaves a void in the hearts of his parents;
his sisters, Carly and Courtney Smith, and Christy Williams, his
brother-in-law Jeff Williams, his grandmothers, Corrie Asmus and Mollie Smith,
and numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins. In heaven, Carter's reunion with his

principles, promote accountability, build the community, and strengthen the
family as the fundamental unit of society. Gaylord was preceded in death by

the next 23 years. After his retirement, dad and mom spent as much time as
possible enjoying their log cabin home above Park City. The cabin was his
pride and joy. He built it himself with the help of many cherished friends.
Dad was an avid outdoorsman. He loved to hunt, fish, hike in the mountains,
and ride his four wheeler and snowmobiles every chance he got. He truly
enjoyed life to it's fullest. He was genuinely happy and content with his life
and possessions. He is survived by his wife of 59 years, his daughters; Jolene

can say. It was such a privilege to be with you as you left us to continue

Keikanzan, Manchuria, China, the second son of Senji Watabe and Kon Takano. He
graduated from college in Harbin, China with a major in Russian. His fluency
in Chinese, Russian and his native tongue, Japanese, helped him secure a post
in the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs. On March 20, 1938 Masao married
Hisako Watanabe. Masao's life changed dramatically after World War II when he
met two LDS missionaries in Sendai, Japan. He was so inspired by the Joseph
Smith story that he stayed up all night reading The Book of Mormon. In the
gospel he found salvation not only for himself, but for all of his ancestors,
his family and his friends who died in the War. He was the first person in
Sendai to join the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and served as a
branch president there for several years. Later he was asked to become a
full-time translator for the Church in English, a language he taught himself
after he joined the Church. He served in various callings in the Church
including branch president, district president, mission genealogy chairman and
stake missionary. In 1972, he became the first patriarch in Asia when he was
called to serve as patriarch for the Tokyo Stake. After he retired from his
job as translator for the Church, he and his wife served several full-time
missions including missions to the Hawaii Temple, the Tokyo Temple and the
Taiwan Temple, where he served as the second counselor in the temple
presidency. In 1990 Masao and Hisako moved permanently to Utah to be close to
many of their children and grandchildren. While in Utah, Masao served as
patriarch of the Asian branches at Brigham Young University where he gave
patriarchal blessings to students in Chinese, Japanese and English. He was so
grateful that he was able to give more than 1,700 patriarchal blessings during
his tenure as patriarch. He also served as a sealer in the Hawaii Temple, the
Tokyo temple and the Taiwan Temple, and as a temple worker in the Provo
temple. He now rejoins his wife, Hisako, who passed away in 1996. They are
survived by their four sons, Masahisa (Faith), Masaji (Claire), Masakazu
