Clifford, John Woodrow        
John W. Clifford 1917 - 2005 John Woodrow Clifford passed from mortality to
eternal life in the still moments following evening prayer on the night of
August 5, 2005. His life's greatest trial, several years of heartbreaking
struggle against Parkinson's and Pulmonary disease, came to an inspirational
close in the last week of intimate farewells, quiet vigil, and a final,
peaceful release. Dad was truly an exemplary member of "the world's greatest
generation," spending a lifetime in remarkable devotion to his nation, church,
and family. From the humble crucible of depression-era farming in rural Idaho,
he determined to improve his life through higher education. He experienced
both the horror of warfare and the prosperity of democracy. Living on a global
stage, his life experiences with world leaders and diverse cultures shaped his
unique sense of humanity: he was always a gentleman and truly a gentle man.
Born in Brigham City, Utah on June 4, 1917, the only child of a short marriage
between Nellie Ellen Hurst and John Lawrence Clifford. Raised alone in early
childhood by a single mother who struggled to make a living for both of them
as a maid, she had to give him back to his father after contracting
tuberculosis, never to see him again. Raised lovingly by his second mother,
Vera Packer Clifford, he adored his four sisters and younger brother. Memories
of his childhood were both difficult and happy. Dad considered marriage and
education as the foundations of his successful life. After carrying on a
lengthy wartime courtship by correspondence, he married Coral Kerr in the Salt
Lake Temple, April 23, 1945 while on leave from the Pacific. Forever faithful,
theirs is a marriage truly based on partnership and love. Education became a
lifelong goal. Dad graduated from Box Elder High, Ricks College, the Artillery
Officers Candidate School, the Univ of Utah, the US Army War College, and the
Univ of Oklahoma. Formal degrees include a BS in Civil Engineering and an MA
in International Relations. An ardent American patriot, 30 years of service in
the military taught him that preparation and vigilance are the best deterrent
to conflict. He fought in New Guinea and the Philippines under his hero,
Douglas MacArthur, in WWII as an artillery forward observer; and again in the
same capacity during the Korean War. Throughout his career he commanded an
atomic missile battalion in Germany and the 214th Artillery Group at Ft.
Still, Okla. He was also in the Pentagon during the Cuban missile crisis as an
advisor to the joint chiefs of staff, commanded troops at the 1968 Chicago
convention, and spent two different tours of duty in Taiwan as a senior
military advisor to the Republic of China. He retired in 1971 at the rank of
Colonel to spend the next ten years in Norman, Oklahoma as the deputy director
of the US Office of Postal Training Operations. Our family moved on average
every year and a half throughout the United States, Europe, and the Far East,
experiencing new cultures, homes, schools, and friends. We enjoyed many
cross-country drives and long ocean voyages. We saw national monuments along
with the historic treasures of Europe, camped the length of Italy, and reveled
in the exotic locales of the Orient. No one was more anxious to experience it
all than was Dad. He then developed a parallel lifetime of devotion to The
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. During military service he served
at various times as Branch President. Later, while living in Oklahoma he was
called to be a Bishop and subsequently as Stake President. He is fondly
remembered in Norman for guiding the construction of the Norman Stake Center.
Mom and Dad retired a second time in the early 80's to be nearer to family in
Salt Lake City. Here, following service in the genealogy library and later as
church volunteer service coordinators, they were called by Pres. Hinckley to
serve as the first president and matron of the Taipei Taiwan Temple. These
four years were a spiritual highlight of their lives. In his last years Dad
served in the bishopric and on the high council of the Ensign Stake, and as a
Sealer in the Salt Lake Temple. One of his life's greatest joys was the
privilege of performing the marriages of six grandchildren. In recent years,
the trials of chronic health problems debilitated a once capable and
independent man. Seemingly endless tests, clinic appointments, late night
emergency room visits, and hospital admissions all made our father fiercely
proud of the Salt Lake VA Medical Center. Their heroic staff perform medical
miracles in the face of shameful budget cuts, and with unfailing kindness to
the veterans they serve. In particular we wish to thank Doctors Rupper,
Nebeker, and Majersik for their personal service to our father. The family
would also like to express appreciation to the kind staff of Brighton Gardens
these last seven difficult months, and for the final week of solace provided
by Hospice for Utah. Jack (John) is survived by his dear wife of 60 years,
Coral Kerr Clifford, and by three sons and one daughter: Bob (Kathy), Brett
(partner Don Austin), Neil (Debbie), and Diane Erhard (Dwight); included are
descendants numbering fourteen grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren. He
is also survived by two sisters, Ruth Collier and Jane Marshall, and a younger
brother, Clayton. Preceded in death by two other sisters, Fern and Laura.
Funeral services will be held Thursday, August 11, 2005 at 1:00 p.m. at the
Ensign Stake Center, 135 North 'A' Street. Family and friends may call
Wednesday evening, August 10th, from 6:00 - 8:00 p.m. at Larkin Mortuary, 260
East South Temple, and at the Stake Center Thursday from 12:00- 12:45 p.m.
Interment will follow at the Utah Veterans Memorial Park accompanied by
military honors, 17111 So. Camp Williams Rd. (Redwood Rd). Online condolences
at www.larkinmortuary.com Donations may be made in his name to The Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Perpetual Education Fund. "Well done thou
good and faithful servant!"

Ganz, Floyd         
Floyd Ganz "Grandpa Floyd" Floyd Ganz died August 6, 2005. He was born in
Chicago, Illinois February 21, 1909 to Segred Eckdal and Dominic Ganz. He
spent his youth in Falcade, Italy, and while there he apprenticed as a
blacksmith. He narrowly escaped death when Germany invaded Italy during World
War I. At age 17, he returned to the United States and worked as a bricklayer
in Pennsylvania, Colorado, California, and Utah. During the Great Depression
he worked the Colorado coal mines. He was employed at Boeing Aircraft in
Washington and at Hill Field Air Force Base. He married Roma Lucille Iasella
July 29, 1938 and they made their loving home in Utah. Floyd was a self-taught
accomplished metal spinner and his two sons carried on this rare tradition. At
Kennecott Copper Mine, Superintendent Buckman made it possible for Floyd to
sell his copper souvenirs at a gift shop to tourists who came to see the mine.
Floyd owned Ganz Copper Art Shop for more than 50 years and worked throughout
his eighties. He repaired beautiful fixtures for the state capitol and the
county building. He was an avid fly fisherman, skier, traveler, reader, and
bowler, having achieved a perfect score of 300 several times. He was handsome,
independent, generous, intelligent, creative, and fun to be around. He was a
hard worker in accomplishing his goals, an excellent provider for his family,
and a great joke teller. He had a charming sense of humor and style, a unique
accent, and a smile that could melt a person. He was an honest and
unpretentious man who was deeply loved and respected and had many friends. He
was resilient, ageless, and timeless. Floyd enjoyed nice cars, taking his
lovely wife out to eat at Little America, walking, Italian music, viewing
nature and educational programs, and the arts. He loved Roma's delicious
Italian cooking along with good conversation. He spoke Italian and German. He
truly loved his family and would do anything for them. Floyd and Roma had a
rare love affair that lasted for 67 years. Roma's loving care and devotion for
Floyd especially during the last nine months was remarkable and extraordinary.
Roma is the love of his life. Floyd will be greatly missed. We love you,
Grandpa! The Ganz family would like to thank our special angels Dr. Sharon
Lee, Sandy Rehab, Hospice for Utah, Gary and Jean Robbins and family who are
considered part of our family, and all of the wonderful relatives and friends
for their caring service and kindness. Floyd is survived by his wife, Roma;

Roe, Bryce Evans         
Bryce Evans Roe 11/5/1921 ~ 7/28/2005 Bryce Evans Roe, aged 83, died
peacefully July 28, 2005, just two months after being diagnosed with an
unsuspected case of advanced lung cancer. He was born in Preston, Idaho,
November 5, 1921, to John Lewis and Frances Evans Roe. His parents were
publishers of the Preston newspaper, the Franklin County Citizen. Bryce began
to learn the printing trade early in life and was an expert linotype operator
by the time he was 18. Graduating from Preston High School in 1939, he moved
to Logan, Utah, and began attendance at the Utah State Agricultural College.
His college career was interrupted when he volunteered for the army in 1942.
He was accepted, contrary to his physician's assurance that he would not be
fit for duty because he had a "toxic goiter." However, according to the
examining army doctor, it was "not very toxic this morning." Bryce was trained
in antiaircraft artillery and served 45 months in the South Pacific campaign
of World War II. Duty stations included Oahu, Kwajalein Atoll, and the
Marshall Islands. At the war's end he was released as a first lieutenant. On
June 26, 1946, Bryce married his wonderful wife of 46 years, the former Ineda
Hickman of Logan, Utah. After the war, he became interested in law and worked
as a linotype operator at the Salt Lake Times to finance his schooling. He
earned his law degree at the University of Utah, and graduated in 1949 with
the highest scholastic average of his law graduating class and one of the
highest averages ever achieved at the institution. He was a member of Sigma
Alpha Epsilon, the Order of Coif and Phi Kappa Phi. Upon graduation, Bryce and
his law-school buddies founded the firm of Ivins, Roe, Kirby & Stark in Salt
Lake City. In 1951, he attended Yale University for one year as a Sterling
Fellow. He later served as an Assistant Attorney General for Utah, then as a
law lecturer at the University of Utah. He accepted a position with the Office
of the Quartermaster General, where he served assignments at the Oakland
Procurement Agency, the General Counsel Office in Washington, D.C., and as
legal officer at the Utah General Depot. In 1958, Bryce resumed his private
law practice in Salt Lake City, joining the original organization of the firm
Fabian & Clendenin as an associate. During his career Bryce was a partner or
an associate in several Salt Lake City law firms. He was the senior partner of
Roe, Fowler, Jerman, and Dart, and its successor, Roe & Fowler, for over 20
years. Bryce rejoined Fabian & Clendenin for a time, then practiced
independently, giving up his office space to work at home. He continued his
law practice to some degree until 2003. Bryce's high standards of
professionalism earned him the respect of his legal colleagues and the
appreciation of his clients. As a true trial lawyer, he enjoyed this aspect of
his profession the most. He brought more than 90 cases before the Utah Supreme
Court alone, plus countless others in the lower courts. One of his more
publicly noted cases was a suit to remove a Ten Commandments monument from the
Metropolitan Hall of Justice lawn in Salt Lake City. Although the suit was
eventually overturned at the time, recent rulings have concurred with the
constitutional issue set forth in his 1970 lawsuit. His most influential case
was argued before the United States Supreme Court, a venue that few attorneys
experience. The court ruled in his client's favor that a Utah law regarding
child support was a violation of the 14th Amendment. Bryce was active in the
Democratic Party, and once sought the Democratic nomination for the Utah House
of Representatives. He was an active member in the First Unitarian Church,
which he and Ineda joined in the 1960s. His loyalty to the U of U continued
throughout his life, with his support of the Crimson Club and seasonal
attendance at university football and basketball games. He was a voracious
reader, a crossword-puzzle wizard, an avid golfer and an excellent chef. Other
activities that he enjoyed included using his computer, watching movies old
and new, a variety of music, fine dining and travel. He visited five
continents and more than 30 foreign lands. Bryce and Ineda were a happy and
loving couple who provided a fine upbringing for their two sons. The family
shared many good times with one another and with relatives and numerous
friends. Bryce and Ineda were happily married until her death in 1992 from Lou
Gehrig's Disease (ALS). Bryce underwent a heart valve replacement in the late
80s, but he subsequently regained and maintained excellent health. He remained
active and independent up until two months before his death. Bryce was
preceded in death by two brothers, John (Jack) L. Roe and Dale E. Roe. He is
survived by two brothers, George R. Roe and DeVoe C. Gill; two sons,
Christopher and Alan; a daughter-in-law, Karen Parker; her son, Jonah Kuttner;
a virtual daughter, Connie Carson; and 13 nieces and nephews. Bryce will be
greatly missed by his family and friends. To paraphrase a saying that Bryce
would tell his sons: "You were a good man, and a good man nowadays is hard to
find." A memorial service will be held at 12 noon, Saturday, Aug. 13, 2005, at
the First Unitarian Church, 569 South 1300 East, Salt lake City. In lieu of
flowers, the family suggests a donation, in Bryce's memory, to the American
Cancer Society or the American lung Association.
