Armstrong, Edward Franz
Edward Franz Armstrong 1958 ~ 2005 Edward Franz Armstrong, age 46, was called
home to his Heavenly Father on Friday, 17 June 2005, after suffering
complications following surgery. Ed was born 13 September 1958 to David and
Iva Armstrong in Long Beach, CA. He grew up in Long Beach and graduated from
Lakewood High School in 1976. Active in the LDS Church, he served a mission to
Paris, France. After his return, he married Theresa Coltran in the Los Angeles
LDS Temple in 1980. During their almost 25 years of marriage, Ed and Teri
raised five wonderful children: David Edward Armstrong (23), Kenneth Joshua
Roberts (23), Steven Ellis Vest (23), Alissa Michelle Armstrong (21), and
Joanna Danielle Armstrong (16). Ed loved sports. He played team sports in high
school and in the LDS Church athletic program for many years. He became an
avid golfer in recent years. Ed loved to work. He built a distinguished career
as an executive in the information technology industry. His most recent
position was VP of Engineering at Sorenson Media in Salt Lake City. Ed loved
music. At the age of 40, he formed a rock band called Crossroads with several
talented musician friends in the Salt Lake area. Over the past several years
the band, with Ed as lead singer, has performed at numerous venues, their last
performance being just last month at Jordan Landing in West Valley City, Utah.
Ed loved his family. He was a devoted and faithful husband to Teri and a
loving father to his children. And Ed loved the Lord Jesus Christ. He held
many leadership positions in the LDS Church, including bishop of the American
Fork 3rd Ward, from which calling he was so unexpectedly released on Friday.
He is now serving with equal zeal and enthusiasm on the other side of the
veil. Called by some an "impatient doer", Ed worked hard at everything he did,
from golf, to his job, to his music, to his family, to his church. He wore big
shoes that can never be filled. He is preceded in death by his parents and his
sister Aletha Armstrong and survived by his wife, Teri Armstrong, and children
and by his brother David Armstrong. Funeral services will be held on Saturday,
25 June 2005 at 2:00 p.m. at the American Fork Hillcrest Stake, 165 N. 350 W.,
American Fork, Utah. Friends may visit 6:00-8:00 p.m. Friday at the stake
center and on Saturday starting at 12:15 p.m. In lieu of flowers, the family
requests contributions to a special account set up at Mountain America Credit
Union for the benefit of Teri Armstrong.

Ballard, Dale Henriod
Dale Henriod Ballard 1922 ~ 2005 Dale Henriod Ballard passed away at
Cottonwood Hospital on June 20, 2005 at the age of 82. He was born in Magna,
Utah on December 12, 1922 to Ross Day Ballard and Ruby Henriod. His family
moved to Draper when he was four, where he was raised with seven brothers and
two sisters in a two-room house. Dale's father taught all the family the ethic
of hard work and perseverance--an ethic that became Dale's standard. Dale
attended school at Draper Elementary, Jordan Jr. High and Jordan High School.
In junior high and high school, he was a clarinet player and drum major. In
high school he won the pentathlon record of 42 straight basketball sinks in
one minute, a record that still stands. He was a very fine athlete and
participated in a number of sports during high school, college, and while
serving in the Army. Out of high school he entered the Army Infantry. At one
time, he and four of his brothers were serving in the Armed Forces during
World War II. His tour of duty lasted four years and he eventually became
Platoon Sergeant in the 3rd Army Infantry in Europe and worked in General
Patton's headquarters in charge of enlisted men in the emergency return
section. While stationed in Florida, just prior to his overseas assignment, he
met and married Alice Irene Baer on March 11, 1944. Just days after their
marriage Dale was sent overseas while Alice remained in Florida, serving in
the WAC. Returning home from the war he became one of the many men to make use
of the GI Bill. He received his degree from the University of Utah in
Pharmacology, and upon graduation, immediately went to work for Parke Davis (a
pharmaceutical company). He graduated top of his class at the Parke Davis
training school and was assigned the Grand Junction, Colorado area. This was
one of the poorest sales areas in the nation but within two years he turned it
into their number one sales district. During the time he lived in Grand
Junction he acquired a small stipend through uranium claims and desiring to
return to his roots, he requested a transfer with Parke Davis to Utah. They
refused his transfer, so with his claim money he returned to Utah and
co-founded Deseret Pharmaceutical Company in 1955. The company had very humble
beginnings selling pharmaceutical products and he often used his home as the
overflow production area. Deseret was the first medical device company in
Utah, and had remarkable success when it introduced the first disposable
operating mask. Deseret was essentially the first company to invent,
manufacture, and market many disposable medical products. Deseret was listed
on the NYSE and enjoyed substantial growth and profit. The company was
eventually sold to Warner Lambert in 1976. From 1976 to 1978, Dale worked as a
consultant for Warner Lambert on research and development until he parted
company and began Ballard Medical. This was also a medical device company,
with its main facility eventually located on the west side of the freeway in
Draper. The company grew through a number of world wide acquisitions and was
listed on the NYSE. It was sold to Kimberly Clark in 1999. During his 45 year
career in the medical field, Dale made an enduring impression on the economy
of Utah. By one account, these two companies employed over 70,000 people
during the period Dale served as President. Additionally, many men and women
achieved wealth as they bought and held stock in both Deseret and Ballard
Medical. His companies provided the training and springboard for other
individuals starting medical device companies in the Salt Lake valley. For his
tremendous contribution to Utah's economy Dale received the honor of
"Entrepreneur of the Decade" in 2000, from a prestigious Utah venture capital
club. Despite his great success, Dale considered himself a dirt farmer. In
1964, he bought a farm located just off Fort Street in Draper. Farming sugar
beets, hay, cattle and corn was one way he taught his children to work. For
years the resident of Draper would see the familiar sight of Dale in coveralls
and an old straw hat with shovel or hoe in hand. The farm was his hobby and he
raised volumes of sweet corn to give to the employees at his companies. When
the farm was sold in 2001, it was the largest undeveloped parcel on the Draper
flat land--a total of 180- acres. To many people the farm represented the
heritage and traditional lifestyle of Draper. Dale was an avid fisherman and
enjoyed many a fishing trip with family and company employees. His favorite
fishing holes were scattered along the Madison River in Montana. He seldom
came home without a substantial number of impressive trout. Most mornings
found him at the local cafe sharing stories with his brothers. His family ties
were strong and he always considered himself just "one of the boys" regardless
of his success or financial standing. His hometown roots sank deep and his
friendly ways earned him the respect and love of many Draper and Salt Lake
Valley Residents. His grandchildren and great-grandchildren will miss his
familiar "Hello Pal" as he shared his infectious enthusiasm for life and his
commitment to hard work. His was the consummate example of unpretentious
charity and simple goodness--a truly remarkable leader in his family, in the
business world, and in his community. Dale is survived by his wife of 66
years, Alice Irene, Holladay; son, Dale H. Jr. (Jane), Draper; son, Frank W.
(Gail), Provo; daughter, Pamela, Draper; 14 grandchildren and 13 great
grandchildren; brothers, Robert, Melvin (Barbara), Wayne (Alice), Bruce
(Renee); sister, Rachel Kimball (Dale), all Draper; sister-in-law, Margaret
Ballard, Draper. He was preceded in death by his parents, Ross and Ruby;
brothers, Ross H., Gene H., Garth; sister, Barbara Allen. Funeral services
will be held Friday, June 24, 2005, at 11:00 a.m. in the Draper LDS Stake
Center located at 13085 South 300 East, Draper, Utah. Friends may call at the
stake center on Thursday, June 23, 2005, from 6-8 p.m. or Friday from
9:45-10:45 a.m. Interment, Draper Cemetery.

working for shares in the Mercur mining camp and she was living with her
sister. After a six-week courtship on an Indian Motorcycle, she promised
herself to him. He went to Alaska to homestead, and she followed, but World
War II drove them out. Her commitment to him was absolute and they coalesced
into single organism. Marie followed him to Harvard and then BYU and was the
power behind the throne of "Dinosaur Jim". Jim's death shattered her

decline. Marie is survived by her brothers Harold and Grant Merrell of Naples;
