Bergstedt, Matthew Einar
Matthew Einar Bergstedt 1972 ~ 2005 Matthew Einar Bergstedt, 32, passed away
Thursday, January 20, 2005 at the National Cancer Institute in Bethesda,
Maryland after three years of fighting malignant melanoma. He was born June
25, 1972 in Mt. View, California, the son of Einar W. and Connie Acord
Bergstedt. Matthew grew up in Sunnyvale and Saratoga, California. He was an
Eagle Scout. He graduated from Saratoga High School in 1990. He earned a
two-year degree from Utah Valley Community College and a Bachelor's degree in
Family and Consumer Studies from the University of Utah. He obtained a
Master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy at Pacific Lutheran University
in Tacoma, Washington. He was a devoted member of the Church of Jesus Christ
of Latter-day Saints and served a mission in Norway. Most important in
Matthew's life were his loving wife and four-year-old son Jakob. Matthew was
married to Ingjerd Merete Johansen on July 5, 1997 in the Manti, L.D.S.
temple. Their second son is expected to be born in May. They have lived the
last three years in Louisville, Kentucky where Ingjerd is attending dental
school and Matt practiced as a family counselor. He served in the High Priest
group in his ward. Matt was adventurous and loved to experience all he could
in life. He enjoyed snowboarding, rock climbing and creating pottery. He was a
devoted husband, father, son and brother and he will be sorely missed. We are
thankful to all the doctors, nurses and pharmaceutical companies who were so
helpful in his fight against cancer. We are grateful for the continued support
of all our loved ones. Matthew is survived by his wife Ingjerd and his son
Jakob Waldemar; his parents and two sisters, Lisa Ortega and Stacy (Roland)
Wright; parents-in-law Egil and Gunvor Johansen of Norway; and many loving
aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. He was preceded in death by his

Blanch M.D., G. Thomas
G. Thomas Blanch, M.D. 1936 ~ 2005 SALT LAKE CITY - George Thomas Blanch, Jr.,
M.D., passed away peacefully in his home in Salt Lake City on January 19,
2005, after spending more than three years fighting health complications
relating to a heart attack and heart transplant. He was 68 years old. Tom
Blanch was born December 18, 1936, in Logan, Utah, to George Thomas Blanch,
Sr., and Eva Baxter Blanch. Tom grew up in Logan as the eldest of three
children, with younger sister Barbara and younger brother Joe. Tom always
excelled academically, and after his graduation from Logan High School, he
attended Utah State University, where he majored in zoology with an emphasis
in genetics. Following college, Tom attended the University of Utah Medical
School, where he graduated first in his class and delivered the graduation
address to his fellow students. While in medical school, Tom met Mary Cristine
Wadsworth, who swept him off his feet and became the love of his life. Tom and
Cristie were married shortly before his medical school graduation, and they
moved to Boston, Massachusetts, where Tom did his residency with the Harvard
Medical Service, where he served a year as Chief Resident. Prior to completing
his residency, Tom took a one-year leave to attend Johns Hopkins University
and earn a Masters of Public Health degree. Following his residency, Tom spent
two years in San Antonio, Texas as a Major in the United States Army. Tom and
Cristie returned to Utah in 1971, and Tom spent two years completing a
fellowship in cardiology at the University of Utah. After that, Tom joined the
staff of the Ogden Clinic, where he practiced internal medicine and cardiology
for more than 25 years and treated hundreds of patients who dearly loved him.
During this time, Tom also had a faculty appointment at the University of Utah
Medical School and spent a period as President of the Medical Staff at
McKay-Dee Hospital. In approximately 1999, Tom left the Ogden Clinic to help
run the Senior Clinic at Ogden Regional Medical Center. Tom relished that
opportunity and continued at Ogden Regional until health problems forced him
into retirement in late 2001. The greatest tragedy of Tom's life came in early
2001, with Cristie's untimely death from cancer. We believe the difficulties
and sorrows resulting from that experience led directly to Tom's own health
crisis only six months later. Tom leaves behind his and Cristie's three
children, James Thomas Blanch (Julianne) and Dr. Jonathan Wadsworth Blanch
(Laine) of Salt Lake City; and Sarah Elizabeth Blanch of Los Angeles, CA. Also
surviving are his sister and brother, Barbara Robertson of Orange, CA; and Dr.
Joseph P. Blanch of Logan, UT. Preceding Tom in death were his parents and an
infant daughter, Laura Elizabeth Blanch, who was born prematurely and passed
away in 1969. We will miss our father and brother terribly. Memorial services
will be held Tuesday, January 25, 2005 at 1:00 p.m. at Lindquist's Ogden
Mortuary, 3408 Washington Blvd., in Ogden, Utah. Family will meet with friends
at the mortuary on Monday from 6 to 8 p.m. and Tuesday from Noon to 12:45 p.m.
Tom will be buried in the Logan City Cemetery. Email condolences to the family

Christoffersen, Helen Lavoy (Yeates)
Helen Lavoy (Yeates) Christoffersen Birthday Roses for Sweet Helen
1/24/1931~12/12/2004 Beloved sister, sweet mother and mother-in-law,
grandmother extraordinaire, nurturing great grandmother, caring
neighbor...loving friend. Helen was born in Hyrum, Utah on January 24, 1931
and was raised in the splendor of the beautiful Cache Valley. She grew up in
the small town of Nibley, just south of Logan. Tragically she lost her dear
mother Melba at a very young and tender age, after she succumbed to cancer.
Helen graduated from South Cache High School in 1949 and fell in love with a
"live wire" from rival North Cache High. She married her sweetheart - Victor
Brien Christoffersen on June 23, 1950 in the Logan Temple. A country farm boy
and girl longing for the "big city" lights, they soon moved their young family
to Salt Lake City. There they would stay, seeking opportunity and the
excitement the big city afforded them. Mom made the papers soon after moving
there - she was suffering from a debilitating eye disease and became one of
the first patients in Utah to receive a cornea transplant, performed by
renowned eye surgeon Dr. Sherman S. Brinton, which helped to restore her
eyesight. Though Helen didn't drive - that never stopped her from having a
very active and fulfilling social life (more active and robust than most of
her children!). Her daughters, granddaughters and friends made sure she saw
all the latest movies. She loved to bowl and was a member of the Tuesday
morning "Ladies League" at Delton Lanes. Mom was a big sports fan and loved
the drama of the World Series, the NBA playoffs, and the Super Bowl. She
always rooted for the underdogs (and always rooted against the Yankees!) and
usually had a "square" or two on the Super Bowl board! But her real passion
was the monthly bus trip to Wendover (Jackpot, Mesquite, or Las Vegas) with
her wonderful friends from the Kearns Senior Center! She loved the slots and
had a real passion for Bingo. She was an avid "soaps" watcher and wore out
several VCR's taping her favorite shows and sporting events. Mom loved country
music and rarely missed the Grand Ole Opry on GAC, unless someone had tickets
to take her to see the Jazz play! She got to see Restless Heart in concert
twice last year and fell in love with their music. She also traveled to Elko
to see Andy Griggs in an outdoor concert! Helen loved the movie marathons at
her dear friend Gloria's house and she was sometimes hard to reach on the
phone (busy signal) as she was yakking away with her new dear friend Rose. She
was one of Uncle Mert's guardian angels - seeing that he got to the Veterans
Hospital, making sure he had enough socks, buying his favorite colored pants
(and making sure they fit correctly), replacing his remote control (after the
old one was dropped into the foot soak water), and yes, always a few of his
favorite "goodies!" Helen loved to putter outdoors in her small garden and
tended her rose bushes with loving care. She was a whiz in the kitchen, opting
for a dash of this or a pinch of that, rather than using precise measurements
- and she always seasoned "to taste!" Her chicken salad "finger sandwiches"
were a delight and a staple at various social events (a grandson's wedding, a
granddaughter's baby shower, a family party, or a get together with friends!).
Her homemade dinner rolls and pumpkin pies were legendary at the family
Thanksgiving celebrations (with a lemon meringue pie for a certain someone!).
Her "plain Jane" spaghetti has been a personal favorite and a staple to this
day! She had a knack to get finicky grandkids to eat (spaghetti noodles with
butter) and if someone needed to know how to thicken gravy or needed a recipe
for chile verde - she was always just a phone call away. She also always
seemed to have a sure-fire remedy for a baby with colic, or a toothache or a
headache that wouldn't go away! Her grandchildren and great grandchildren were
a tremendous source of joy to Helen. How she did it on a senior's fixed income
is anyone's guess - but she always managed to give them all a special gift on
Christmas, and a sweet card with money on their birthdays - her memory was
uncanny! Helen passed away on December 12th, 2004 after being deprived of
food, water, and medicines subsequent to suffering a severe stroke on November
29th at the request of five of her six children. She will be greatly missed by
all who loved her. This was Mom's first Christmas and Birthday in heaven, and
we know the angels and her beloved Vic are smiling! A special thanks to: her
special friends at Majestic Meadows, all of the staff and friends at the
Kearns Senior Center, and all of her special friends throughout the years -
too numerous to mention! Don't think of her as gone away her journey's just
begun, life holds so many facets this earth is only one. Just think of her as
resting from sorrows and the tears, in a place of warmth and comfort where
there are no days and years. Think how she must be wishing That we could know
today, how nothing but our sadness can really pass away. And think of her as
living In the hearts of those she touched... For nothing loved is ever lost
and she was loved so much. E. Brenneman

Hasegawa, Ruth
Ruth Hasegawa 1913 ~ 2005 Ruth Hiroko Tsujimoto Hasegawa, 91, passed away
January 21, 2005 from congestive heart failure. She was born September 4,
1913, in San Francisco to Genjiuro and Ei Tsujimoto. Ruth graduated from high
school in San Francisco and remained there until March, 1942, working in a
pharmacy owned by her brother, Masao Tsujimoto. At the beginning of World War
II, Ruth and her family faced one of America's dark moments when all Americans
of Japanese ancestry, citizens and legal aliens alike, were ordered evacuated
from America's west coast. Rather than go to one of many internment camps
established for this reason, Ruth, along with her family and many friends,
came to Utah under the leadership of Fred I. Wada. They settled near what was
Keetley, Utah, some 30 miles from Salt Lake City where they raised vegetables
to help the United States war effort in a project called "Food for Freedom."
During this time Ruth met Takekichi (Harry) Hasegawa who was living in Salt
Lake City. They were married December 27, 1944. At the war's end, Ruth and
Harry chose to remain in Utah where he was employed in construction. They took
up residence in Salt Lake City and a baby daughter, Joyce, joined the family
in February, 1950. Ruth became well known to friends and family for the New
Year's Day traditional Japanese dinner she prepared annually for up to 100
people who would come by the house throughout the day. She loved entertaining
in her home and would spend days prior to an occasion preparing traditional
dishes for the people she loved. She also served her community by volunteering
for neighborhood door to door charity drives. Her main focus in life, however,
was her daughter and later her grandchildren. They added so much substance to
her life and she to theirs. Preceded in death by her parents; husband; and
three brothers, Nobukazu Tsujimoto, Wataru Tsujimoto and Katsumi Tsujimoto.
Survived by her daughter and son-in-law, Joyce and Ted Kesterson of Salt Lake
City; grandson and wife, Stuart Johnson and Cynthia Homan; along with
great-granddaughter, Zoe, of Bend, Oregon; granddaughter, Christine Hasegawa
of Salt Lake City; step-grandson and wife, Kirk and Tomoko Kesterson of Tokyo,
Japan; sister, Toyo (Tatsuo) Hatanaka; brothers, Masao (Toshi) Tsujimoto,
Minoru (Margaret) Tsujimoto; and sister-in-law, Aya Tsujimoto; and numerous
nieces and nephews. Ruth was a quiet, unassuming, appreciative woman who
gained the love and respect of those who knew her even briefly. The family
wishes to thank the staffs of Care Source Hospice and St. Joseph Villa for the
loving care they provided to her over the past year. Funeral services will be
held 11 a.m. Tuesday, January 25, at the Japanese Church of Christ, 268 West,

Jones M.D., Robert E.
Robert E. Jones, M.D. 1922 ~ 2005 Robert E. Jones, M.D., prominent Salt Lake
City physician, died January 21, 2005 of causes related to cancer. He was born
October 11, 1922 in Hiawatha, Utah to William Bell and Sylvia Alta Jones. The
absence of his dry wit and contagious laughter creates a void no other can
fill. Bob graduated from Carbon High School in 1939 and from the University of
Utah in 1943. Although offered a scholarship to the Juilliard School of Music,
Bob instead chose to follow in the footsteps of his older brother, Jack, and
received his medical degree from the University of Pennsylvania Medical School
in 1946. During medical school, Bob joined the U.S. Army and following
graduation served as an army doctor at Valley Forge General Hospital, from
1948 to 1949. He decided against an army career when he discovered argyle
socks were not standard issue. Following completion of his internship at
Graduate Hospital in Philadelphia and a residency at Delaware Hospital in
Wilmington, Delaware, Bob returned to Salt Lake City in 1952 to begin private
practice. He practiced internal medicine more than 42 years and was affiliated
with Salt Lake Regional Medical Center (formerly Holy Cross Hospital). Bob
enjoyed traveling, tending his beautiful flower gardens, collecting and
creating works of art (he especially enjoyed working with stained glass), Jazz
basketball, and professional tennis. Above all, however, he enjoyed practicing
medicine. Helping the sick was never considered work - it was his privilege.
Bob was the embodiment of a dedicated, selfless, caring generation of
physicians. The lives he saved are many; the lives he touched immeasurable.
Bob is survived by his sister-in-law, Sarah Anne Jones; nieces, Linda Oswald
(Fred), Cynthia Jones, M.D. (Steve Prather, M.D.); nephew, David Jones; his
devoted friend and long-time assistant, Sandra McDonald; and loving friend and
companion, Dorothy Woolf. Preceded in death by his parents; and brothers,
Frank Jones, who died in infancy, and William Jack Jones, M.D. Sincere
gratitude is offered to Bob's wonderful neighbors and friends, to the hospice
nurses and to Margaret Hecht, M.D., for their generous gifts of love, care and
support. Bob will be deeply missed by family, colleagues, friends, and former
patients. All who loved him are invited to a celebration of this remarkable
man's life, followed by a luncheon Sunday, January 30, 2005, 12 noon at the
Salt Lake Country Club, 2400 East Country Club Drive. In lieu of flowers, the
family suggests donations to the charity of your choice.

Reyes, Roberto
Roberto Reyes "Big Bob" Robert Reyes, loving brother, husband, father,
grandfather, and friend to all who met him, left our lives unexpectedly
January 23, 2005. Robert was born in El Paso, Texas September 2, 1944 to his
cherished mother, Simona. He grew up in Colombus, New Mexico, and Montello and
Elko, Nevada, where he found his best friend and soul mate, Martha Spikes.
They were married in 1969. He is a self-educated man who amazed all who knew
him with his profound wisdom and knowledge. Robert taught us all by
challenging our views and making us see things in a different light. Robert
was there for anyone, family, friend, stranger, or foe, who needed a helping
hand. His selfless generosity will never be matched. When Robert saw
opportunity, he made the most of it. For more than two decades, Robert
provided transportation for people from all over the world to Alta, Utah.
Although he was the founder of Alta Shuttle, he humbly referred to himself as
a "professional driver," and please don't call him "sir." "Just call me Big
Bob." He will be greatly missed by his friends in the town of Alta. A part of
Robert will always live on in his wife, Martha; four daughters and their
husbands, Melissa and Tom, Shelly and Joe, Toni and Paul, and Roberta and
Mike; six grandchildren, Nicholas, Miles, Riely, Casey, Ireland, and Zoe; and
his siblings, Fry, Ron, Roy, Diane, Dennis, and Joan. He is preceded in death
by his abuelita and his mother. He is laughing and dancing in paradise with
them now. Please join us in a Celebration of Life Wednesday, the 26th of
January, starting at 6 p.m. at La Caille, located at 9565 Wasatch Blvd. He did
not want anyone to mourn for him, so please come and join family and friends
in sharing the fond memories and times of laughter you shared with Robert.
Come ready to celebrate and have one on the "big guy!" In lieu of flowers, the
family suggests contributions to the Primary Children's Medical Center.

the LDS Church. When he returned home, he married Ann Peterson in the Salt
Lake Temple December 27, 1979. He graduated from the University of Utah with a
degree in finance. For 25 years, Steve Tempest was general superintendent for
The Tempest Company and was currently president of Tempest Enterprises, Inc.
He loved the intellectual challenge and excitement of pipeline construction,
the freedom of working outdoors, and the tangible evidence of what good men
can accomplish together. Steve believed in the power of community and served
on the Board of Directors of the Associated General Contractors of Utah and
the University of Utah Alumni Board. With his diagnosis of lymphoma, Steve
chose to help others with cancer, delivering last summer's "Survivors on the
Summit" talk at Snowbird benefiting the Cancer Wellness Center. He spoke of
living simply in the present because, in truth, "we are all terminal." Steve's
life was one of quiet service, helping people, be it putting in a sprinkler
for a neighbor, or creating a village waterline in the high plateaus of
Bolivia. His wit, fierce integrity and mental toughness, passion for
adventure, and his devotion to Ann and his daughters define the power of this
humble man. He lived well. His influence resides in our changed hearts.
Preceded in death by his mother; he is survived by his wife, Ann; and their
daughters, Callie, and her husband Andrew Jones, Sara Teewinot, and Diane
Kathryn. Honoring his life are his father, John; sister, Terry, and her
husband, Brooke Williams; brother, Dan, and his wife, Thalo Porter; and
brother, Hank. He is also survived by his mother-in-law, Gertrude Thody
Peterson. A viewing will be held January 24, from 6-8:30 p.m. at Wasatch Lawn,
3401 Highland Drive. Funeral services will be January 25, 12 noon at the
Valley View Stake Center, 2245 East 3900 South. No viewing prior to the
service. The family wishes to thank Dr. Bill Nibley and his staff; Dr. Nelson
Wright; and Dr. Steve Lordon, all neighbors, along with IHC Hospice, who
served Steve well. Steve had a dream of creating a labyrinth for cancer
patients, their families and caregivers, so they could walk in times of sorrow
and solitude as a personal meditation. This project is in the works as a gift
to the community. Donations can be made to the Steve Tempest Labyrinth
Project, c/o Zion National Bank, Account #004481057.
