enjoyed much during their younger years, (their 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's.),
traveling and camping in their fifth-wheel. They enjoyed being with family and
friends, going to the canyons and playing their banjo's while all were singing
around the campfire at night. He and Delores also enjoyed bowling in several
leagues. Rulon graduated from East High School, studied to be a certified
public account but did not want to leave his current employer, Premium Oil
Company, to work in a accounting office for two years in order to become a
CPA. He said that he didn't think taking the CPA test would have made any
difference in his profession, but he did regret never taking the final test.
His ability in accounting did pay off however because he was promoted to
supervisor over Premium Oil's 32 retail service stations, before moving on to
more responsibilities. In his younger days he worked on his fathers farm, had
a paper route, worked as a service station attendant, a service station
manager, worked on a natural gas pipeline between Wyoming and Salt Lake City,

his brother Merrill in Salt Lake City, and at the same time worked full time
at Shell Oil Company across the street from the feed store, worked for Utah

the beginning of his life long career with that company. He worked for them
for 67 years. He was phenomenal at facts and figures. During his life he was
Vice President of Premium Oil Company, President of Premoco Oil Company,
President of PR Transport Company, and Secretary-Treasurer of Leeoco Oil
Company. In Oct., 2002, at the age of 95 he retired because of health reasons,
however, still maintained his position on the board of directors. He resigned
from the board of directors in 2004. He said that he couldn't ask for a better
company to work for, and that it had been an enjoyable 67 years. Survived by
daughter, Jean (Ed) Smith, Taylorsville, UT; son, Robert (Sue) Hymas,
Herriman, UT; Delores's son, Jack (Arlene) Hymas, St. George, UT; Delores's
daughter, Peggy Walker, Lakewood, CO; brother, James Davis (Marge) Hymas;

Hymas and sister, Pearl (Max) Pace; great grandson, Trent Michael Smith;
grandson, Larry Hymas. We want to give special thanks to Harmony Home Health
Care, and Harmony Hospice for the excellent care they gave to our very loving
father. Also a special thank you to the Golden Living Center for their care of
our wonderful father. He had a smile for all and nobody ever heard him say one
unkind word about anyone. He was always willing to be of any service he could
to anyone and was the most agreeable man anyone ever meet. He was a true
believer in "live and let live". His warm kindness and terrific attitude will
never be forgotten by those who meet him. Funeral services will be held Wed.,

father, grandfather and friend, passed away at his home, June 29, 2005 of
melanoma, surrounded by loved ones. He endured his illness with patience,
dignity and was an example for all. Blair was born March 8, 1940 in Raymond,
Alberta, Canada. His parents were Alfred and Bonita Critchfield Jensen. He had
six sisters and three brothers. Blair was proud of his Canadian roots and
Raymond and always treasured this great heritage of hard-working, giving
people who cared for others more than themselves. The Critchfield and Jensen
families were early colonizers on the beautiful flat prairies around Magrath
and Raymond. Blair worked in farming and ranching as a young man and never
lost his love for the land. He served as a missionary for The Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Southwest Indian Mission from 1961-1964. He
was returning from the mission field to Raymond when he met his eternal
companion, Ada Siler, on a bus in southeast Idaho. Six months later, they were
married in the Idaho Falls Temple on August 29, 1964. They gave new meaning to
the advertising slogan "Take the bus and leave the driving to us." From this
eternal union, six wonderful children and their spouses, along with 11
grandchildren have enriched their lives: Tonya (Bart) Ferrin (Katee, Brandton
and Christopher); Stephanie (Jason) Brown (Sydnee); Shauna Jensen; Dan (Jody)
Jensen (Joshua, Zachary and Annalyn); Brooke (Tony) Cline (Taylor and Jacob);
and Ally Jensen (Dylan and Connor). Blair loved and cherished his family.
Blair graduated from LDS Business College and BYU. He worked for the LDS
Church in the information systems area for over 38 years and was blessed to
see the unfolding of technology needed to meet the needs of the Lord's work.
His sweetheart, Ada, passed away from ALS in 1999, a loss from which he never
fully recovered. He was blessed with another loving eternal companion when he
married Weltha Jane Forsyth on July 27, 2001 in the Jordan River Temple.
Blair's life was blessed beyond measure to be served by, and to associate
with, many wonderful people and friends, starting with missionary service and
through school, career, his neighborhood, ward and stake. He was pleased to
serve in many assignments at the ward and stake level, most recently as an
ordinance worker in the Jordan River Temple. His favorite calling was with Ada
in the primary organization. Blair was dearly loved and will be deeply missed.

Mom taught us all how to love one another because she had on unconditional
love for every single one of us. Her love kept our family bonded through ups
and downs. She saw the good in people. Her sensitivity and understanding will
never be forgotten. The advice she gave continually reminded us how important
we were to her. She knew through wisdom and experience then told all who asked
what life has to offer. Her contagious sense of humor and her love for
laughter will be the dull ache we feel most in our hearts because she made us
all feel better about life with her presence. She passed gracefully knowing
her life was complete. This world is one less beautiful person without her.
Her smile will remain forever in our hearts. She will be greatly missed by all
who knew her for mom was genuine. Mom was loved. A funeral mass will be

in the world, and adored playing with his nieces and nephews. He relished his
relationship with his sisters, and knew that he could talk to them about
anything. Rob enjoyed sharing the outdoors with his brother. He shared a
passion for fishing with his dad. Separated by miles, but not in heart; Rob
and his dad spoke often by phone and enjoyed the time they had together. Rob
and his mom shared a relationship like no other. Hardly a day passed by that
they didn't discuss his golf game from the 1st hole to the 18th. Rob was
determined to be the best golfer he could be and to bring home the Masters
