Together, Howard and Carol raised two wonderful children, Ronald (Bonnie) and Sharlene (James D. Craig). They honor Howard for his quiet, tender, patient ways and unconditional love. Many other children found their way into the Pettit hearts and home over the years. Mario Murga (Belen) stayed the longest, and became a much loved and honored family member.

Roe, Christopher Christopher L Roe 3/1/1951 ~ 9/2/2005 Christopher Lewis Roe, the son of the late Ineda and Bryce Roe, died Friday, Sept. 2 at his home in Sandy. He was a victim of homicide, a most unlikely end for a gentle soul who didn't care for the harshness of the real world. Born in SaIt Lake City, the son of the late Ineda Hickman Roe and Bryce Evans Roe. Christopher was a graduate of East High School. He attended Claremont College in Pomona, Calif., and the Bryan School of Court Reporting in Los Angeles. For many years, he lived in Los Angeles, where he worked for Newlander & Newlander court reporters. In L.A., he married Karen L. Parker in 1983; they were divorced in Salt Lake City in 1995. Most recently, he worked as a court-reporting transcriber in Salt Lake City. Chris was dedicated to learning, and he knew a little bit about everything. His avid interests included reading, music, traveling and geography. He and Karen had traveled a lot in the U.S. and abroad in such places as Thailand and Western Europe. Chris always had to relate where he was or where was going to maps, which he loved to study. Not only did he appreciate all forms of music from classical to R&B, he also performed it. He started out on clarinet in high school, and later became an expert recorder player. Like his parents, he was a crossword enthusiast, and he excelled in any games involving words and knowledge of the world. He was known for his interest in trivia, and friends in Los Angeles called him "the walking encyclopedia." They wouldn't bother to look up things when they could just ask Chris. He had a deep appreciation and respect for the Earth's natural wonders, especially mountains. His spirituality was based in nature, and he fervently believed that religion was a great, all-encompassing concept that was not the exclusive province of anyone group of people. He loved cats, sometimes owning as many as four at a time. When he heard that cats could be taught tricks, he trained his cat Mid-range to shake paws, and the cat retained that ability for 17 years. He is survived by a brother Alan Roe and his companion Connie Carson of Logan; uncles George Roe (Rebecca) of Snohomish, WA, and DeVoe Gill (Faelm) of San Diego, CA; aunts Dot Barclay (William) of Redondo Beach, CA, Jo Salt (William) of Bountiful; Hettie Simons of SaIt Lake City, former wife, Karen Parker, and stepson, Jonah Kuttner, both of North Carolina; and scads of cousins.

He grew up in the west Capitol Hill area of Salt Lake City and attended Salt Lake public schools and the University of Utah, graduating in 1939 with a degree in accounting. In 1939 he married Janet Smith in the Salt Lake Temple. They spent their honeymoon in Sun Valley and began a 60-year tradition of annual family vacations in Sun Valley that now extends to four generations. Joe enthusiastically shared his talents and love of people in service to the LDS Church. He was a missionary in the British Isles from 1935 to 1937, a high councilman in the Highland Stake, YMMIA General Board member, patriarch of the University of Utah married student stake and bishop for 12 years of Parleys First Ward, the ward he was a member of for 64 years. Professionally, Joe received his CPA in 1940, shortly after joining the Utah Idaho Sugar Company. In 1965 he retired as assistant treasurer from Utah Idaho Sugar Company and embarked on a new career as a history professor. In 1967 he received his PhD in history from the University of Utah and for the next 18 years taught U.S. History, Utah History and religion at Brigham Young University. His uniquely energetic teaching style not only brought history to life but made him one of the most popular professors on campus. His passion to teach never waned. After retiring from BYU he taught history for 14 more years at the Salt Lake Community College retiring at age 82. For the next five years he held weekly history classes in his home to enrich the lives of friends and neighbors.
