years at the Peter Pan Pool Hall, owned by her brother Elden and was famous
for her French Dip sandwich and good coffee. When she was 52 she started a new
career: driving the bus and the downtown trolley for UTA. It was a great
match. Her enjoyment in talking to all kinds of people and sharing the history
of Salt Lake ran for ten years until a work related injury brought on early
retirement. She loved to read, collect dolls and go to lunch at her favorite
restaurant, Kyoto.  Preceded in death by her husband Donald E. Hull, son Lance
Dahyle Hull, she is survived by brother Kenneth Evans, children, NaNette
Gilhespie (Dennis), Lisa Hull, Keven Hull, Brett Hull (Stacey) and three
grandsons; Richard, Ronny and Josh. She will be missed by all who knew her.

Katz, Otto
Otto Katz In Loving Memory  Otto Katz,  87, passed away unexpectedly November
4, 2004, his plans for an upcoming vacation transformed into a more intangible
journey.  Otto was born in Vienna, Austria on August 5, 1917 to Phillip and
Josephine Pearl Katz. Otto spent the early years of his life growing up in
Vienna until the pre-war turmoil of Europe split his family. Otto was
fortunate enough to find refuge in Switzerland where he lived throughout the
war and where he met Klara Mueller whom he married on August 2, 1945. In 1947,
they had their first child, Herb. By 1949, Otto decided to move his young
family to America. Otto settled his family in Holladay, Utah where he and
Klara had their second child, Jennifer. Otto loved his life in America and he
loved his family. He was a good, kind, and temperate father whose dedicated
work as a tailor for Sears Roebuck Company for over thirty years supported his
family. In the early 1980's, Klara fell ill. Otto retired, occasionally sewing
for neighbors and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, and stood by her until the end.
Although her death took a more profound toll then perhaps even he recognized,
he never lost his love for life and passion for the company of family and good
friends. Otto continued to nurture and raise his family which now extends to
grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Equally as important as what Otto did
in life, was who Otto was in life. Otto was an intelligent man who spoke
several languages. He was an avid game player including bridge (in fact some
would substitute merciless for avid). He had an infectious charm that could
easily disarm even a complete stranger. He was an unshakeable friend, loving
father, and wonderful grandfather. He was a joyful, healthy man who was lucky
enough to live every minute of his life to his last. His weekly chicken-foot
blockings and "family feud" skip vendettas will not be the only things about
him that are sorely missed. Otto is survived by his son, Herb (wife Betty
Sue), and daughter, Jennifer and sister, Isa (Poldi), as well as his grandsons
Joseph, Steven, Bryan (Krista), granddaughter Heather, great-grandchildren
Corbin and Bailey, and other extended family. He is also survived by his
loving companion Helen Hadley who brought great joy to his life. Otto is
preceded in death by his wife Klara, parents, Phillip and Josephine and his
four brothers and three sisters.  Funeral Services will be held on Tuesday,
Nov. 9, 2004 at 2:00 p.m. at Wasatch Lawn Mortuary Chapel, 3401 S. Highland
Dr. Friends and family may pay their respects at a viewing to be held on
Monday, Nov. 8th, from 6-8 or one hour prior to the funeral services on
November 9th.  In lieu of flowers, please make donations to the Huntsman
Cancer Institute or the Mount Olympus Senior Center.

Smith, Gerald G.
Gerald G. Smith 1909 ~ 2004  Gerald G. Smith passed away in Bountiful, Utah
November 5, 2004, at the age of 95. He was born January 9, 1909 in Salt Lake
City to Nicholas Groesbeck and Florence Gay Smith. Jerry, as he was known to
his many, many friends, had a life filled with service and accomplishment. He
is survived by three married children, Susan Smith Curtis (Thomas E.), Gerald
G. "Chip" Smith II (Carol Marie Ronnow), and Craig Lunt Smith (Tamsan Diane
Bartley). He also leaves 13 grandchildren and 38 great-grandchildren, all of
whom lovingly called him "Dampa". He is also succeeded by his youngest
brother, Nicholas G. Smith, Jr. His brothers, Stanford and John; and his
beloved wife Olive, preceded him in death. Jerry's early years were spent in a
fine LDS home in Salt Lake City and Farmington, Utah before his father was
called to preside over the South African Mission for the LDS Church. The Smith
family and the three young Smith boys, Gerald, Stanford, and John, would spend
eight years in South Africa due to the outbreak of World War I. Back in the
States, Jerry's younger years revolved around his church, school, many good
friends and athletics. He played football and basketball at LDS High School.
He excelled in basketball. His coach in high school and at the University of
Utah was the legendary Vadal Peterson. Jerry earned All-State and
All-Conference honors in basketball and participated in national high school
and college tournaments. Jerry greatly admired his father Nicholas G. Smith
and strove to model his life after him. Nicholas G. became bishop to his ward
and later was called as an Assistant to the Twelve; also served as Acting
Patriarch to the Church. He served as a mission president three times. At the
University of Utah, Jerry affiliated with the Sigma Chi Fraternity and
continued courting his Cedar City sweetheart, Olive Rose Lunt. They enjoyed a
very active social life and were sealed in the Salt Lake Temple by President
George Albert Smith, President of the Church and Jerry's uncle. Upon
graduation from the "U" the newlyweds set off for Washington, D.C. and law
school. An outstanding career in government interrupted his law studies. At 25
years of age Jerry became the youngest Chief Fiscal Officer in the Federal
Government, working for the Farm Credit Administration. He was later appointed
fiscal director in the Soil Conservation Service in the Department of
Agriculture working with 11 Regional Office and 300 Civilian Conservation
Corps. When Nelson Rockefeller was assigned by President Franklin Delano
Roosevelt to create the Office of Inter-American Affairs, he hired Jerry Smith
as his Chief Fiscal Officer. This relationship and a mutual respect for each
other continued throughout the lives of both men. This assignment took Jerry
to many South American countries. He also worked closely with Roy and Walt
Disney designing programs to utilize caricature depictions in film to help
backward countries understand and employ much needed sanitary practices. Later
in his career Jerry moved his family to the West Coast where he served as
Deputy Regional Director of War Assets Administration at the close of World
War II. During this busy career in government, he served his church as a
counselor in the district presidency in Washington, D.C., as a gospel doctrine
teacher and chairman of a fund-raising drive in Southern California. Following
the war, as war assets were being liquidated, Jerry felt a strong desire to
return his family to Salt Lake City. He became an executive at the ZCMI
Department Store from 1950 to 1975, retiring at 66 years of age as manager of
the downtown store. Prior to this retirement, he took a three-year leave to
serve as president of the Eastern States Mission. He greatly enjoyed this
assignment and his affiliation with and responsibility for the Hill Cumorah
Pageant in those days. His service in his church included that of counselor in
the Salt Lake Bonneville Stake Presidency, Stake Patriarch, and associate
director of the Salt Lake Temple Square Visitor's Center. He also served on
the MIA General Board as a member of the Church Athletic Committee. He also
served as a Regional Representative of the Quorum of the Twelve. Following
retirement, he and his wife Olive moved to Mesa where he served as director of
the Mesa Arizona Visitor's Center. Also served as a sealer in the Salt Lake
Temple. He filled many community assignments including those as president of
the Bonneville Knife and Fork Club, governor of the Mayflower Society, state
chairman of the Utah Cancer Society, and president of the "U" Emeritus Club.
In all of their assignments, Gerald and his lovely Rose made numerous friends.
They were among the first residents in The West Temple Apartments, just west
of the Conference Center. Dad so appreciated Building Manager, Bob Schmelling
and many officials of Zion's Securities for their many courtesies. Also, their
great neighbors on the south end of the 8th Floor, the Garrards, rendered many
kindnesses. When it became necessary to vacate his apartment at age 94, and
due to the effects of advancing age, Dad spent the last nine months in the
Orchard Cove facility in Bountiful. Dad's family expresses appreciation to the
kind caregivers. Funeral services for President Gerald Smith will be conducted
