Amos, Richard Anthony
Richard Anthony Amos "Together Forever" On March 7, 2005 after a long,
courageous battle with his health, our dad decided he wanted to go home to be

they are now reunited. He was born August 8, 1937 in Seymour, Indiana to
Lawrence and Mary Amos. He married Christine Johnson on March 9, 1957 and
together they had five children. Dad was happiest when he was serving others.
He was well respected and loved by all who knew him. He was an avid reader and
could have opened a book store with the amount of books that he collected over
the years. We would like to thank all of the many people from Huish Detergent
that have not only stood by him through the years, but with him, and a special
thanks to Debbie Mair for her loving care and devotion. Survived by his

Hall, Ida-Rose Langford
Ida-Rose Langford Hall 1921 ~ 2005 Ida-Rose Langford Hall, age 84, died
peacefully at home in her sleep, in Provo, Utah, March 7, 2005, surrounded by
her loving husband and family. Born February 20, 1921 in Burch Creek, Weber
County, Utah, the fourth of seven children of Ernest Fountain and Zina
Charlotte Chlarson Langford, Ida-Rose was raised in Ogden. While at Weber
State College, she began dating Howard Tracy Hall. They were married September
24, 1941, in the Salt Lake Temple. Ida-Rose was the light of her husband's
life. She deferred education to begin a family, not knowing where World War II
might take them. After the war, she applied her creative skills to help Tracy
earn his Ph.D. at the University of Utah, while she stayed home with three
children. His career then took them to Schenectady, New York, where three
additional children were born, and where they both served with dedication in a
growing branch of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. They moved
to Provo in 1955, when Tracy became Director of Research at Brigham Young
University. Ida-Rose was soon involved in design and settling of the home
where they have since lived and where their children participated in daily
family prayer, scripture study, and weekly home evenings. We children grew up
convinced that Mom could do anything. An avid learner, she enjoyed BYU classes
in history, language, genealogy research, and writing. Ready to take on
Scandinavian research, she and Dad traveled to Sweden, searching out archives
and ancestral haunts. Mom decided to refinish furniture, found a book on the
subject, and soon an entire wall of built-in cabinets, with a matching, set-in
piano, displayed her artistry. Mom rose at dawn to prepare nutritious
breakfasts, while supervising our music practice and chores. She sewed daily
wear for all the children, as well as elegant prom dresses and tailored coats
for five daughters; tied secure knots with two sons and dozens of Blazer boys;
faithfully wrote weekly letters to five children who served missions; and saw
all seven through good times and bad. She rejoiced to see all her children
enter the temple for sealing blessings. In 1982-1983, Ida-Rose and Tracy
served a mission in South Africa and Zimbabwe. There she put practical
know-how to good use, encouraging local saints to become self-sufficient.
Afterward, she helped African converts as well as Utah crafters support their
families by selling their work at her "Tulip Cottage" in Payson. Ida-Rose
enjoyed sharing home-grown vegetables, roses, and exquisite orchids. Her
skills benefited church and community, especially as she taught and led in
Primary and Relief Society. She published several family histories (most
notably Progenitors and Descendants of Fielding Langford); welcomed scientists
from all over the world to her home; enjoyed teamwork with her husband in
their church service, including his term as bishop of their Provo Pleasant
View First Ward; helped tend their Payson tree farm; and took both of their
fathers into her good care in their declining years. Perhaps best of all, she
and Tracy learned to appreciate rather than struggle with differences, as they
forged a solid, good-humored, and mutually supportive unity that has been an
inspiration to many. After her cancer diagnosis in 2002, Ida-Rose did not
dwell on her illness. Rather, she maintained an upbeat demeanor, lifting
others with her wit and positive spirit. Truly she was a faith-filled, hard
working, no-nonsense, get-the-job-done-on-time miracle worker. We her children
do "arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also" (Proverbs 31:28; also
verse 31). Now she is embraced by ancestors she found, no doubt savoring this
chance to ask questions of those who eluded her sleuthing in mortality.
Survivors include her devoted husband, H. Tracy Hall, of Provo; and their
seven children: Sherlene (Daniel) Bartholomew, of Orem; H. Tracy (Helen) Hall,
of Provo Canyon; and his former wife Elizabeth H. Hall, of Orem; David R.
(Karen) Hall, of Provo; Elizabeth (Martin) Neil, of Los Altos, California;
Virginia (Barry) Wood, of Arlington, Virginia; Charlotte (Bryan) Weight, of
Wilsonville, Oregon; and Nancy (Douglas) Mecham, of Provo; 35 grandchildren
and 28 (soon 30) great-grand-children; one sister, Iona (Robert) Lemmons, of
Anchorage, Alaska; two brothers, Ernest Fount (Joan) Langford, of Harrisville;

deceased) Wilcox, of Salt Lake City; Eugene (Joyce, deceased) Hall, of Las
Vegas; Wendell (Merrill) Hall, of Wallsburg; Donald (Louise) Hall, of Ogden;

Harrison, New York. He holds a B.A. from the University of Maryland (1942) and
an M.D. from the Long Island College of Medicine, (1945). He served in the
Army Air Corps in Japan before completing his internship and residency at
Harbor General Hospital in Inglewood, California. In 1947, he married Freda
Eisen and they settled in Salt Lake City. He opened a private medical practice
focused on the social and medical problems of the aged at a time before
Geriatrics had developed into a medical specialty in its own right. Throughout
his career, Dr. Kassel dedicated himself to working with and occasionally
fighting with the Federal government to shape policies on Medicare. In the
1960s, he was appointed as a delegate to the White House Conference on Aging.
Prior to his retirement in 1995, he also served as Medical Director of St.
Joseph's Villa. At the time of his retirement, he was the oldest physician
with admitting privileges to the former Holy Cross Hospital, where he
maintained an affiliation throughout his career. Dr. Kassel prided himself on
his personal library. Over his lifetime, he accumulated an outstanding
personal collection on Judaism and aging. A voracious reader, Dr. Kassel
enjoyed "communing with people from the past." He was generous with his
knowledge, lecturing readily and often on a range of topics. His library also
contains many artifacts and rarities on the subjects he studied in books.
Among his many publications, perhaps the most controversial was his article
advocating polygyny, multiple spouses for men, after the age of sixty. During
the 1960s and 1970s, he aired his views weekly on Sunday mornings as the host
of two-way talk radio KSXX. During his show, called The Church of the
Paranoid, he often validated his statements with quotes from Benjamin
Franklin, Cicero and the Sefer ha Victor. During this period, he and his wife,
Freda, played hosts to a salon of eclectic scholars and people of note from
throughout the country who gathered in their living room attracted by his
eccentricities. Dr. Kassel is survived by his four daughters: Suzanne Kassel
Okrend (husband Arthur, son Michael) of New Jersey; Marleen Kassel Kerson
(husband Paul, daughter Deborah, son Benjamin) of New York; Malka Kassel of
Salt Lake; and Judith Kassel (husband Alexander Younger, sons Daniel, Joseph)
of Virginia. His wife of 54 years, Freda Eisen Kassel, passed away in 2001.
The family requests donations be sent on his behalf to the Jewish Family
Services of Salt Lake City. The Funeral will be held at Evans and Early, 574
East 100 South, on Friday, March 11 at 10:00 a.m.

Schneider, Noland H.
Noland H. Schneider 1927 ~ 2005 Noland H. Schneider passed away on March 7,
2005 due to the effects of cancer. Noland was born on August 14, 1927 in Salt
Lake City, Utah to Hyrum and Elma Schneider. He attended East High School and
then the University of Utah, where he was a member of the Pi Kappa Alpha
fraternity. He received his law degree from the University of Utah Law School
and passed the Utah Bar Exam with the highest score in the state. He joined
the Merchant Marines at age 16 and later served in the Army and as an officer
in the Air Force. Noland was a lawyer by training but an entrepreneur at heart
and his greatest pleasure was in overcoming the greatest odds. He practiced
law, he prospected for uranium in Southern Utah and for black mica in Mexico,
he speculated in commodities (and almost had several hundred head of cattle
delivered to his home when he and his partner failed to close a contract
before the delivery date), he went from boom to bust during the uranium
frenzy, and invested successfully in many start up companies. He was the head
trader at Coombs & Company, a local stock brokerage firm, and a co-owner of
Utah Welder's Supply. Noland loved games of chance and, much to the delight of
his friends and family, invented several of his own. He enjoyed sit down ping
pong, locker room golf, bowling for dollars, and the pursuit of impossible
propositions like breaking 85 in golf within one year, trying to run a horse
through a full set of jumps at the Cottonwood Club horse show, and running
from the Alta Club to Willow Creek Country Club in less than four hours. He
was a great card player, particularly bridge and gin rummy. Noland was also an
avid golfer and belonged to the Salt Lake Country Club and the Springs Country
Club in Rancho Mirage, California. More than anything, Noland loved people and
people loved him. He was always willing to help his friends and there was
nothing he wouldn't do for his family. He adored his grandchildren and step
grandchildren and entranced them with his stories and outings. Noland loved
life and he lived it to its fullest. As he said, "I've had a pretty good run."
He is survived by Patty, his loving wife of 32 years; his sister Camilla Smyth
(Fred Smyth); his sons Mark Schneider (Mary Sloan) and Kirk Schneider (Nata
Schneider); his daughter Jeri Schneider; his step daughters Kathy Tarver
(Keith Tarver) and Carolyn Hunter (Drew Hunter); and his grandchildren Dylan,
Allie, Kacey and Carli Schneider, and Joseph and Leo Staten, and his step
grandchildren Robyn Urry, and Robbie Tarver. He was preceded in death by his
parents and by his sisters Phyllis Schneider and Kathryn Nuttall. There will
be a graveside service for family members at Wasatch Lawn Cemetery on Friday
March 11. Friends may call at the Larkin Sunset Lawn Mausoleum 2350 E. 1300 S.
on Thursday March 10 from 6-8 p.m. Friends are also invited to attend a
