Utah in 1943. Although offered a scholarship to the Juilliard School of Music,
Bob instead chose to follow in the footsteps of his older brother, Jack, and
received his medical degree from the University of Pennsylvania Medical School
in 1946. During medical school, Bob joined the U.S. Army and following
graduation served as an army doctor at Valley Forge General Hospital, from
1948 to 1949. He decided against an army career when he discovered argyle
socks were not standard issue. Following completion of his internship at
Graduate Hospital in Philadelphia and a residency at Delaware Hospital in
Wilmington, Delaware, Bob returned to Salt Lake City in 1952 to begin private
practice. He practiced internal medicine more than 42 years and was affiliated
with Salt Lake Regional Medical Center (formerly Holy Cross Hospital). Bob
enjoyed traveling, tending his beautiful flower gardens, collecting and
creating works of art (he especially enjoyed working with stained glass), Jazz
basketball, and professional tennis. Above all, however, he enjoyed practicing
medicine. Helping the sick was never considered work - it was his privilege.
Bob was the embodiment of a dedicated, selfless, caring generation of
physicians. The lives he saved are many; the lives he touched immeasurable.
Bob is survived by his sister-in-law, Sarah Anne Jones; nieces, Linda Oswald
(Fred), Cynthia Jones, M.D. (Steve Prather, M.D.); nephew, David Jones; his
devoted friend and long-time assistant, Sandra McDonald; and loving friend and
companion, Dorothy Woolf. Preceded in death by his parents; and brothers,
Frank Jones, who died in infancy, and William Jack Jones, M.D. Sincere
gratitude is offered to Bob's wonderful neighbors and friends, to the hospice
nurses and to Margaret Hecht, M.D., for their generous gifts of love, care and
support. Bob will be deeply missed by family, colleagues, friends, and former
patients. All who loved him are invited to a celebration of this remarkable
man's life, followed by a luncheon Sunday, January 30, 2005, 12 noon at the
Salt Lake Country Club, 2400 East Country Club Drive. In lieu of flowers, the
family suggests donations to the charity of your choice.

grandfather, and friend to all who met him, left our lives unexpectedly
January 23, 2005. Robert was born in El Paso, Texas September 2, 1944 to his
cherished mother, Simona. He grew up in Colombus, New Mexico, and Montello and
Elko, Nevada, where he found his best friend and soul mate, Martha Spikes.
They were married in 1969. He is a self-educated man who amazed all who knew
him with his profound wisdom and knowledge. Robert taught us all by
challenging our views and making us see things in a different light. Robert
was there for anyone, family, friend, stranger, or foe, who needed a helping
hand. His selfless generosity will never be matched. When Robert saw
opportunity, he made the most of it. For more than two decades, Robert
provided transportation for people from all over the world to Alta, Utah.
Although he was the founder of Alta Shuttle, he humbly referred to himself as
a "professional driver," and please don't call him "sir." "Just call me Big
Bob." He will be greatly missed by his friends in the town of Alta. A part of
Robert will always live on in his wife, Martha; four daughters and their
husbands, Melissa and Tom, Shelly and Joe, Toni and Paul, and Roberta and
Mike; six grandchildren, Nicholas, Miles, Riely, Casey, Ireland, and Zoe; and
his siblings, Fry, Ron, Roy, Diane, Dennis, and Joan. He is preceded in death

not want anyone to mourn for him, so please come and join family and friends

family suggests contributions to the Primary Children's Medical Center.

Tempest, Stephen Dixon
Stephen Dixon Tempest 1957 ~ 2005 Stephen Dixon Tempest passed on in the
comfort of his home and family January 21, 2005, from Non-Hodg-kin's lymphoma.
Born December 24, 1957, in Salt Lake City, Utah, to Diane Dixon Tempest and
John Henry Tempest, III, Steve grew up in the foothills of the Wasatch where
he loved to hike and watch deer. His love of nature translated into an empathy
toward others. He attended Highland High School where he was student body
president in 1976. Steve later served in the Florida-Tallahassee mission for
the LDS Church. When he returned home, he married Ann Peterson in the Salt
Lake Temple December 27, 1979. He graduated from the University of Utah with a
degree in finance. For 25 years, Steve Tempest was general superintendent for
The Tempest Company and was currently president of Tempest Enterprises, Inc.
He loved the intellectual challenge and excitement of pipeline construction,
the freedom of working outdoors, and the tangible evidence of what good men
can accomplish together. Steve believed in the power of community and served
on the Board of Directors of the Associated General Contractors of Utah and
the University of Utah Alumni Board. With his diagnosis of lymphoma, Steve
chose to help others with cancer, delivering last summer's "Survivors on the
Summit" talk at Snowbird benefiting the Cancer Wellness Center. He spoke of
living simply in the present because, in truth, "we are all terminal." Steve's
life was one of quiet service, helping people, be it putting in a sprinkler
for a neighbor, or creating a village waterline in the high plateaus of
Bolivia. His wit, fierce integrity and mental toughness, passion for
adventure, and his devotion to Ann and his daughters define the power of this
humble man. He lived well. His influence resides in our changed hearts.
Preceded in death by his mother; he is survived by his wife, Ann; and their
daughters, Callie, and her husband Andrew Jones, Sara Teewinot, and Diane
Kathryn. Honoring his life are his father, John; sister, Terry, and her

Wright; and Dr. Steve Lordon, all neighbors, along with IHC Hospice, who
served Steve well. Steve had a dream of creating a labyrinth for cancer
patients, their families and caregivers, so they could walk in times of sorrow
and solitude as a personal meditation. This project is in the works as a gift
to the community. Donations can be made to the Steve Tempest Labyrinth
