McMeen, William Otho William OthoMcMeen 1908 ~ 2005 Our dear 96 year-old father/ grandfather/great-grandfather-known to his posterity as "Grampy"- left us on the first morning of 2005, January 1st.William Otho McMeen, born in Dixon, Illinois, on August 28, 1908 (parents, Edward Kurtz McMeen and Helena Anderson) died peacefully with his wife of 17 years, Dorothy Jacobs Davey McMeen, at his side. He was one of the "Greatest Generation." Almost living for an entire century, "Grampy" survived his older sister Ruth, and younger brother Bob. To get his education, he worked hard on a paper route, finally graduating from the University of Washington in engineering. During the depression he worked for Safeway- where his store survived a robbery. When he finally got a job with the Bureau of Reclamation drawing spillways for dams, he moved to Denver and met Frances Murphy (1905). They were married in 1937, sealed in the Salt Lake Temple in 1946, and were married for over 50 years until her death in 1987. They had four children, Marilyn Frances (Bill Brown), Elaine Kay (Lawrence Flake), Sylvia Ann (Bill Whitson) and David William McMeen (Becky Merrill). His exemplary life is characterized by his love for the Lord and his incredible work ethic. A convert, he read the Book of Mormon under a small lightbulb in the hull of one of the World War II destroyers lost in Pearl Harbor. His work ethic? He never complained about working. Wisely he purchased pieces of income property and while working at his government job and selling Watkins products after hours, he refurbished, painted, and restored old houses until he built an impressive estate. After his wife's death, he remembered a cheery nurse they had known in his ward and looked her up in Salt Lake City. Their first date was to McDonald's. Dorothy has been the most wonderful blessing a family could ask for. Always there beside him to read to him when his eyesight faded, always there to hold him up when he could not walk, Dorothy and her family, Jeanne Davey, Bruce Davey (Kristen), Brent Davey, and Marilyn Springay (Rob), plus her extended family, have all been a great blessing in Grampy's life. This man's remarkably long life is an impressive example of perseverance. Until a few months ago he was doing 32 pushups every day. For years he rose early, walked several miles, worked hard, retired early, ate little. He pressed forward in everything he did with a fastness of purpose and a love for the Lord. At every visit when asked, "How do you feel," he said, "Fine." He woke up Saturday morning, showered, put on his tie (he always wore a tie) and prepared to watch his favorite programs. He loved the BYU devotionals. He also loved baseball. When he got up, he collapsed in the hall, and his upstairs neighbor, Ray Valgardson- who built Grampy's last properties- was the "man upstairs" who came down and lifted him up in his arms to carry him to his last bed on this earth. Grandma Dorothy held his hand. It couldn't have been more beautiful. Funeral services will be held on Friday, January 7, 2005 at 11:00 a.m. at the Spring Creek Chapel, 1745 South State Street, Provo. A viewing will be held Thursday, January 6th at Walker Family Mortuary, 85 East 300 South, Provo from 6:00 - 8:00 p.m. and Friday morning from 9:45 - 10:45 a.m. at the church.
