He could fix and build anything and enjoyed projects of all kinds. He also enjoyed regular Tuesday morning breakfasts with his sons and coffee just about every day with his "coffee buds".

Miller 1914 ~ 2005 On Thursday evening, February 24, 2005, our father Joseph H. Miller passed from this world. He was residing with our mother Marion O'Malley Miller, his wife of 66 years, in Bellevue, WA. He died peacefully after suffering a fall earlier that day. He is survived by Mom and all seven children: Joseph Miller of San Juan Island, WA; Marilee Kapsa of San Diego, CA; Susan Wade of San Francisco, CA; John Miller of New York City, NY; Melanie Miller of Seattle, WA; Betsy Smith of Bellevue, WA; Monica Miller of Malden Bridge, NY; and his twelve grandchildren and six great grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his brother Robert F. Miller of Portland, Oregon. Dad was born on August 9, 1914 to Edith Fryling Miller and Joseph Henry (Harry) Miller in Butte, Montana. His family moved to Salt Lake City to start a hat store (later known as Norm Sims) in Salt Lake City where he and his brother grew up. They loved playing baseball, horseshoes and going fishing. He attended elementary school in the basement of the Cathedral of the Madeline and high school at Judge Memorial. After graduation, Dad attended St Joseph's Seminary in Mountain View, CA. His studies abruptly ended during the depression when his dad Harry died and he returned to Utah to take care of his mother and brother. He met our mom, Marion Howard O'Malley, on a blind date with their good friends Jack and Betty Maher. He and Mom fell in love and were married on June 27, 1938. For 43 years Dad was a traveling salesman, in the early days driving the blue highways of Utah, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, and Colorado, and later covering only Utah and south Idaho, to meet with buyers from the small town mercantile establishments presenting his Jantzen line of swimsuits, wool sweaters, skirts, and general sports wear. He always maintained an office in downtown Salt Lake for the showing of Jantzen's new lines. He organized, with ZCMI, the annual fashion show, The Jantzen Jamboree, in the 50's and 60's that featured local modeling talent. Dad loved his work, loved getting on the road. He also loved working a fly for trout on the beaver dams above Fish Lake or the high lakes of the Uintahs. And most of all he loved to ski and most winter weekends he spent with Mom and the kids on the slopes of Brighton and Alta. We all learned to ski on hand-me-down wood skis and most of us were avid racers. Dad also loved to water ski. His first boat was called "Number Eight" as it came along after his seven children. His last boat, "LingerLonger II", took Mom and Dad through the San Juan Islands of Washington and the Gulf Islands of BC in the first 15 years of their retirement. He was a devout Catholic and an active member of the Cathedral of the Madeline. He had many beloved friends in Salt Lake City, and in Sun City West, AZ, where he and Mom moved in 1986. He acquired friendship wherever he went, from his clients and fellow Jantzen salesmen, to the many people he met in his travels with Mom on their boat in the Northwest. Dad is deeply missed by his family, the families of his brother Robert Miller, and those of Mom's sister and brother, Elizabeth Stinson and the late Walter Lee O'Malley. Goodbye, Dad. You are forever in our hearts. Donations in the memory of Joseph H. Miller may be made to the Judge Memorial High School Legacy Campaign, 650 So. 11th East, Salt Lake City, Utah 84102.

Thomas Farrell Ralphs, 90, died of natural causes on Friday, March 18 in his home. Born May 28, 1914 in Salt Lake City to Ephraim Thomas and Lorraine Farrell Ralphs. He was educated in Salt Lake and was a member of LDS High School's last graduating class. He attended three universities but, true to his nature, never bothered to graduate from any of them. In 1938, he married Elizabeth Cannon, and they had four children. Tom was a World War II veteran, serving as a Navy Lieutenant JG aboard an LST in the South Pacific. A very successful businessman in Salt Lake, Tom was co-owner of Cannon Construction for many years, and a Culligan Soft Water franchise owner for many more. In his business life, he also owned car dealerships, parking lots and garages, and finally, a computer company (though he knew nothing about computers). In the 1950s and 60s, he was a prominent participant in dog shows throughout the Intermountain West. His prized Samoyeds took home plenty of ribbons. Tom was a curmudgeon to the very end but a lovable one. His wit was constant and hilarious - quick one-liners and story after story after story. After story. He never told a joke in his life, but loved hearing them. He fascinated adults, but his funny faces and removing his false teeth made children squeal with delight. Tom lived what he called a happy life of repetition. Others called it a rut. For years, he lived the same way. Every day, for breakfast a bowl of Cheerios; for lunch right at 12:15, another bowl of Cheerios; for dinner, at precisely 6:30, a chicken dish; and at 8 p.m. exactly, a "dollop" of bourbon. The routine never varied, except for Thursday nights when he would go to dinner and drinks with his good friend, Ernie Muth. Tom was very independent, never asking for (or really never needing) help of any kind. To the day he died, he still lived alone, still drove every day, took a walk, and every Sunday he finished the New York Times crossword puzzle. And he made everyone in his world laugh. He is survived by two of his children, Roger (Noriko), Santa Fe, New Mexico, and Lindsay (Shelley) of Oakland, California, two grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. Preceded in death by his wife, two children, Judy and Tim, and two sisters, Blanche Cannon and Ellie Thomas. A memorial will be held Sat., April 2nd, from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. at Anderson Commons, 734 E. 200 So. In lieu of flowers, you may make a donation to the University of Utah Hospital Body Donor Program, 20 North 19th East, Salt Lake City, Utah 84132, Attention: Angela. Tom, you'll be missed.

Wilder, Marci Marci Wilder "Marci The Great" The most beautiful blue eyes, bright shining smile, and huge spirit have moved from this existence to return to her Father in Heaven and divine perfection. Marci Lee Wilder, also known as "Marci the Great," freed herself from the confines of lung cancer on March 25, 2005. It's difficult to tell Marci's story in this space, but here are a few important things. Marci was born to Jay and Arline Wilder on January 25, 1964. She grew up in Salt Lake City and earned her bachelor's degree in organizational communications from the University of Utah. She was raised in the LDS faith and was active for many years, serving in both Relief Society and Young Women's. Marci is survived by legions who love her, including her parents Jay and Arline, her partner Kris Liacopoulos, brother and sister-in-law, Tracy and Natalie Wilder, and sisters and brothers-in-law, Jenny and Adam DeWaal, Annie and Todd Storrs, and Allie and Trent Christensen. Trent, Nate, Braiden, Parker, Brooke, Zac, Abby, Andrew and Alexis are the nephews and nieces Marci loves so much! She also has many aunts, uncles and cousins who love her dearly. She is preceded in death by her brother Brett Wilder, and her grandparents. Marci spent the majority of her professional career at Fidelity Investments. In her 15 years there, she made many close friends, and they can laugh heartily at the memories she created in her time with them. Who else could say "rock on chaka-khan!" and have it mean something? Marci stood for courage and hope and she inspired many of us to step up and become greater through her presence. Many shared her courage and hope to become cancer-free and fought with her. These include the doctors and nurses at the Modern Health Clinic, and many friends and family who worked on behalf of Marci to make this path easier to travel. Many thanks go to generous friends, including Amie, Kristy, Jen, Kimile, Kristen, and Pamela (or "Sugar" and "Buttercup"). We will miss you so much Marci! We'll miss your brilliant smile that lit up the room, your clear blue eyes that held so much love, your magnificent spirit and personality that brought us joy and wisdom, and your amazing grace that taught us so much. Rest well, sweetest sweetie! Funeral services will be held Tuesday, March 29, 2005, at 11:00 a.m. at the Little Cottonwood 20th LDS Ward Chapel, located at 1160 East Vine Street. A viewing will be held Monday, March 28th, from 6:00 - 8:00 p.m., at Larkin Mortuary located at 260 East South Temple, and also on Tuesday one hour prior to services at the Little Cottonwood Ward Chapel.
