Ellison, Roger Melvin
Roger Melvin Ellison 1942 ~ 2005 Roger Melvin Ellison of Sandy, UT, age 63,
beloved husband, father, grandpa, son and brother returned to his Heavenly
Father April 11, 2005. Surrounded by his family that loves him deeply, he
passed away peacefully at his home after a sudden, brief but aggressive battle
with cancer. Roger was born January 23, 1942 in Lovell, Big Horn, WY, and
raised in Paradise Valley outside Livingston, MT on a beautiful family ranch
with a back drop of pine-covered mountains, on the Yellowstone River where he
loved to fish for trout. It was here that Roger learned the value and joy of
hard work and gained a testimony of the gospel from his parents. He attended a
one-room school in Paradise Valley and Park County High School in MT. Then he
attended BYU in Provo where he met the love of his life, Rosemary. They were
married on October 1, 1964 in the Salt Lake Temple where they were sealed for
eternity, by President Gordon B. Hinckley when he was an Apostle. After 40
years their love is still vibrant, from the happiness they received from
laughing together, being unified in life's purposes--centered on gospel of
Jesus Christ. Their greatest joy is being with their family. He was a man of
service. As a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, he
was the first missionary from his Livingston Ward, serving faithfully in the
Australia, Sydney Mission, where he did much good in sharing the gospel. He
was a High Priest in the LDS Church, having served in many callings to the
best of his ability. He had a love of teaching, home teaching and lifting up
the poor and needy. He was a friend to all and looked for the good in
everyone. He found his greatest joy of service through family history, and we
know he is continuing with this work even now. He started his career in
banking, then real estate sales and investments. He enjoyed his most recent
work at SereniCare in funeral services where he loved comforting and inspiring
families in need. Every job he had he made better. Roger is survived by his
"Pride & Joy," his wife, Rosemary Kirkham Jarvis Ellison; his children: Laurie
Ellison-UT, Jennifer and Paul Breinholt-UT, Nathan and Laura Ellison-TX, Nikki
and Alif Ambler-KY, Nancy Ellison-UT and Benjamin Ellison-UT; grandchildren
Parker and London Breinholt, Mikayla, Zachary and Brock Ellison, and Justin
Ambler; mother Vivian Anderson Ellison-MT; sister Deanne Holm-AZ; Jarvis
Sibling In-Laws George and Kathy-CAN, Stephan and Sue-WA, Michael and Trudy-UT
and many other loved ones. Preceded in death by his father Melvin Basil
Ellison; wife's parents George Y. and Carol K. Jarvis, and niece Lisa Jarvis.
Funeral Services will be held Saturday, April 16, 2005 at 12 noon at the
Willow Creek 3rd Ward LDS Chapel on 2400 E. Alta Canyon Dr in Sandy, UT.
Friends may call Friday, April 15, from 6-8 p.m., and Saturday one hour prior
to the service. Interment: Lehi City Cemetery. Funeral directors, SereniCare.

We'll always remember his "Roger Jokes," "punny" sense of humor and making
everyone laugh. He's the "best looking Grandpa we know his size." "1,2,3 WE
LOVE DADDY!!"

Fishler, Benjamin Mabey
Benjamin Mabey Fishler 1921 ~ 2005 Ben M. Fishler passed away at his home on
April 12, 2005. Benjamin Mabey Fishler was born April 17, 1921, in Odgen,
Utah, to Philip L. and Alice Mabey Fishler, the fifth of seven children. He
had four sisters and two brothers. The children of Phil and Alice were:
Virginia, Kenneth, Mildred, Audrey, Ben, Stanley, and Baalah. Raised in the
Avenues of Salt Lake City, Ben graduated from East High School in 1938 and
attended the University of Utah. Ben met our mother, Helen Robinson, in San
Francisco during World War II, and they were married on November 13, 1942. Ben
is survived by his three children, Philip (wife Judy Williams), Julie (husband
David Smart) and Janet (husband Tom Melville.); his sisters, Virginia Bowen,
Baalah Drooks; brothers, Kenneth and Stanley (wife Darlene); in addition, nine
grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his
parents and his sisters Mildred (Christensen) and Audrey. Ben enlisted in the
U.S. Navy on January 9, 1939. Trained as a medical corpsman, he was then
assigned to the USS Honolulu CL-48 at Pearl Harbor. On December 7, 1941, while
serving on the Honolulu, it was attacked by Japanese dive-bombers and damaged.
Ben observed the USS Arizona blow up and the USS Oklahoma roll over. Ben
immediately went to his battle station to attend to the wounded. After repairs
were completed, the Honolulu operated in the Aleutian Islands in order to
prevent a Japanese invasion of Alaska. Thereafter, the Honolulu, nicknamed the
"Blue Goose", was sent to Guadalcanal in the Solomon Islands, just in time to
participate in the Battle of Tassafaronga on November 30, 1942. In this
battle, every American cruiser was either damaged or sunk, but the Honolulu,
as a "lucky ship", was not damaged. This was followed by many ship-to-ship
night engagements. On July 4, 1943, the Honolulu sank a Japanese destroyer in
the Battle of Kula Gulf. However, the Helena CL 50, a sister ship, was sunk.
On July 13, 1943, in the Battle of Kolombangara, the Honolulu, while trying to
intercept the "Tokyo Express", sustained two torpedo hits. Once again there
were no casualties, but 90 feet were blown off the bow. The Honolulu, with Ben
on board, returned to the U.S. for repairs. He was then assigned temporarily
to the Naval Hospital at Camp Pendleton, California. Ben then became a "plank
owner" on the USS Barataria Bay, AVP 33, a seaplane tender. On that ship, Ben
went immediately to the Philippines, where he participated in the invasion of
Lingayen Gulf. At war's end, he was in Manila, standing by, to invade Japan.
Ben liked to say, he was at Pearl Harbor when World War II started and at
Manila when it ended. His next assignment was recruiting duty in Salt Lake
City for three years. Sea duty called again, and he was assigned to attack
transport, USS Pickaway APA 222 which took him and U.S. Marine reinforcements
to the Pusan perimeter at the beginning of the Korean War. The Pickaway then
made the landings at Inchon where Ben attended to wounded Marines evacuated
from the invasion beach and seawall. At the completion of the Inchon campaign,
Ben and the Pickaway went to the east coast of Korea. His sea duty completed,
Ben drew a three-year tour, giving physicals at an Armed Forces Examining
Station in Detroit. Sea duty called again, and he was sent to Trinidad,
British West Indies and Panama where he served with Patrol Squadron VP 34. In
1956, he drew his last shore assignment in Cheyenne, Wyoming, serving as a
member for Inspector/Instructor Staff at the U.S. Naval Reserve Training
Center, Cheyenne, Wyoming. He always had difficulty explaining to people why
this "old salt" was sitting in the middle of the sagebrush. In 1958, he
retired to go to work in sales at Deseret Pharmaceutical where he worked until
1967 when he formed Desert Drug Company. This company was sold, and he formed
another pharmaceutical company called Pharmics. He left Parmics to go into
dental sales with his nephew. He left that employment to retire, although he
was very active until the very end of his life. He loved the Navy, but never
considered himself a hero. Ben believed he was just one sailor among many who
did their duty for their country. He was devoted to his family, especially his
wife, Helen and his three children. He loved to be with his grandchildren and
quite possibly, he loved his great-grandchildren even more. This was probably
due, in part, to his great love for children. At times it seemed he was a
child at heart. Every Christmas Ben would say, "Mele Kalikimaka!" ("Merry
Christmas" in the Hawaiian language). Ben insisted that his children become
educated and, even more, demanded hard work and honesty from them. He never
saw a problem that couldn't be overcome with hard work, dedication and
perseverance. Ben was extremely punctual and organized ("A clean ship is a
happy ship"). He had a sweet tooth and especially loved ice cream. Ben loved
his children's spouses as his own children. Ben always told us how much he
loved his mother-in-law and father-in-law. He loved fishing and hunting with
his son, sons-in-law, nephews, grandsons, and grandsons-in-law. Ben could not
abide a quitter. Respected by everyone, Ben was a hard worker with a deep
sense of ethics. Most of all, Ben was a very generous person. We will all miss
him but take comfort in all that he taught us by example. The family would
like to express their thanks to all his health-care providers who extended his
life much beyond what we had any right to expect. These people include: Drs.
Keith Ritchie and Richard Bennett, who always exercised great skill and
compassion. Our thanks also go to their wonderful staff. Lastly, we thank our
family and friends who have consoled us in this difficult time. As a last
warning, Ben hated it if you were late. Ben will be interred in Arlington
National Cemetery in Washington, D.C. with full military honors. These
proceedings will be conducted by Ben's son-in-law, Lt. Col. Thomas Melville,
USAR, Ret. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to the U.S. Naval
Archives in Washington, D.C. Please contact: Rose Marie Lawing, U.S. Navy

was a premier archer in Utah and the Rocky Mountain Region. He held
championship titles in both target and field archery tournaments. He quietly

Rehabilitation Center, and LifePath Hospice for their dedication and kindness
during their father's final days. A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m.
