Richard Dean Hamilton "Poppy" Our handsome, sweet, husband, father, poppy and
friend reluctantly left us Saturday, September 17, 2005 after a brief but
valiant battle with cancer. As much as we needed him here, he was chosen for
important work on the other side. We are comforted in knowing that in his
final hours, he knew of our love for him and we will always know of his love
for us. He was born October 9, 1930 in Salt Lake City to William E. and
Pauline Schefer Hamilton. He attended East High where he graduated in 1947. On
January 14, 1950 he married his high school sweetheart, Connie Ogaard
Hamilton. Their marriage was later solemnized in the Salt Lake Temple. They
were fortunate enough to spend 55 years together. He joined the Navy Reserve
right out of high school. He then went to work in the beauty supply business.
The majority of his life, he worked as a manufacturer rep. in the wholesale
clothing business where he found great success. He defined the meaning of
"Family Man". He loved his wife, children, and grandchildren, but most of all
his great-grandchildren who were the light of his life. He had nicknames for
all his girls: Kissaroo, Beuty, Gorgie and Preshie. He had a passion for life
and loved every minute of his time on the earth. The support that he showed
was one of the most amazing things. He took his grandson, Derek, to every
sport practice and game but most enjoyed the last 11 years of watching him
golf and was very proud when he turned professional. He never missed a single
Halloween parade, Christmas program or birthday party. He took great pride in
going above and beyond the call of duty with every title he owned. He was full
of love and always many hugs and kisses. Some of his favorites were dancing,
traveling, eating, going for "coffee" and just being with his family. We are
lucky to have had a man like him in our lives. We will remember the things he
taught and hold onto our memories until we are all together again. He is
survived by his wife; children, Tom (Launi) Hamilton, Debra Lombardo;
grandchildren, Desiree (Jeremy) Robertson, Derek (Kristin) Penman, Dylan
Penman, Tiffani Heiner, Richard Hamilton, Jeremy Hamilton, Shiann Hamilton;
great-grandchildren, Lexee, Bella and Ellie Robertson, Stockton Penman, and
Alyssa Heiner. Preceded in death by parents; sister, Diane Bigler; and
grandson, Tom Hamilton Jr. Funeral services will be held Wednesday, September

Hardy, Howard E.         
Howard E. Hardy "Eternal Companions" Howard Ernest Hardy, our loving father,
grandfather, scoutmaster, home teacher, bishop, and friend, passed away
peacefully at age 92 in his home in Taylorsville, Utah September 16, 2005. He
was born August 21, 1913 the first child of Ernest Verender Hardy, Jr. and
Ingri Jolley Stringham Hardy in Manti, Utah. He spent most of his growing
years in Manti and later Delta, where he graduated from high school before
moving to Salt Lake City. While living with his family on Crandall Avenue in
Salt Lake City, he met a beautiful young lady named Eunice Jane Larsen. After
a loving courtship they were married August 2, 1937 in the Salt Lake Temple.
After nearly 47 years of marriage, Eunice left this earth life January 6,
1984. He dedicated his life to serving his family and others. He served in
many positions in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, including
bishop, counselor in three bishoprics, high councilor, High Priest Group
leader and Elder's Quorum president. He also was a name extractor in the
family history program for the last few years of his life. He has extracted
approximately 90,000 names including a few that he had worked on the evening
prior to his death. Perhaps his most endearing church calling was that of home
teacher. His faithfulness in that assignment was demonstrated by his
reporting, last week, that his September home teaching assignment had been
completed. For his years of dedicated service to the scouting program, which
he dearly loved, he was awarded the "Silver Beaver" by the Great Salt Lake
Council of the Boy Scouts of America. He was actively involved in the Sons of
Utah Pioneers. For many years he served in the East Millcreek Chapter in
various leadership positions. Howard worked in the pre-cast concrete, natural
marble, and granite industry more than 40 years. One of the highlights of his
business career was the sale and supervision of the installation of more than
200,000 square feet of marble and granite for the Washington, D.C. Temple. The
highlight of this project for him was working side by side with President
Spencer W. Kimball in the setting of the temple's final cornerstone. Howard
and Eunice brought five children into the world, Ronald (Marilyn), Laraine
(Lawrence) Astle, Brent (Lynette), Duane (Shirley), and Grant (Connie). Their
posterity includes 24 grandchildren, and 41 great-grandchildren. He is
survived by his children and their families; sister, Delphia Wight,
Westminster, CO; brother, Crawford R. Hardy, San Gabriel, CA; and
sister-in-law, Nellie Larsen, Murray, UT. Preceded in death by his wife,
parents, four brothers, one sister, and seven brothers and sisters-in-law.

Lambert, Carlyle Ballif       
Carlyle Ballif Lambert 1917 ~ 2005 Carlyle Ballif "C.B." Lambert - our big guy
with a big heart, big mind, and big laugh - died peacefully 14 September 2005.
He was born in Rexburg, Idaho, 29 July 1917 to Asael Carlyle and Florence
Ballif Lambert. His family moved to Provo in 1926 where he received his early
education. His family relocated to California where he graduated from Palo
Alto High. He earned his B.S. from BYU in 1938 and his M.S. in 1940, winning
the Sigma Psi Award for best scientific study. He was accepted for doctoral
studies at The University of Chicago, but gave up this dream because World War
II was raging and he had a young family to support. C.B. married Carol Bement
7 June 1940 in the Salt Lake Temple and they just celebrated 65 years
together. Carol survives C.B., along with six children, 20 grandchildren, and
28 great-grandchildren. Children, John Carlyle (Heather Paterson) Lambert,
Monroe Township, N.J., Carolann (Robert) Eastmond, Las Vegas, NV, Melodee

Arnell, Annaleisa Lambert (Brett) Andrus, Marianne Nelson (Aaron) Gary, Ryan,
Jeff and Scott Nelson, Meikel Lambert (Luke) Reece. C.B. believed his greatest
accomplishment was courting and marrying Carol. Their children, grandchildren,
and great-grandchildren filled his life, especially in these last years, with
pride, love, and family activity. Equally important were his commitment to
education and service to family, friends, neighbors, and young people; and his
example of integrity, fidelity, and responsible citizenship in a democracy.
C.B. worked for the U.S. and Utah State Departments of Agriculture and for
Remington Arms in SLC during World War II. He then spent 32 years with Geneva
Steel's Blast Furnace Division, at increasing levels of responsibility,
retiring as Production Superintendent in 1979. Dad was an avid hunter and
fisherman, and an enthusiastic fan of competitive sports, especially of BYU
football. He loved the Cougars and shared lowlights from early years,
described his jubilation when they first beat Utah, and reveled in their glory
years with LaVell Edwards. Friends may call at Berg Mortuary (185 East Center
Street, Provo) Monday, 19 September, from 6-8 p.m. We will celebrate C.B.'s
life at 3 p.m. Tuesday, 20 September, at Berg; friends may call from 2-3 p.m.

Pierson, Aleta Carol          
Aleta Carol Pierson 12/8/1921 ~ 9/14/2005 God needed a kind gentle person to
care for His beloved animals in Heaven so He recruited our mom for the job.
She accepted the position on Sept. 14, 2005 and moved to Heaven to begin her
new duties. Carol was born December 8, 1921 in Mills County, Iowa to Earl and
Sylvia Dashner. She grew up on a beautiful farm surrounded by lush fields and
pet animals of all varieties. Never one to remain indoors, mom shunned
training in the domestic arts- preferring to be outside riding her beloved
horses. Mom's love for animals and gardening began early and continued
throughout her life. She had a special rapport with all animals. Her yard was
a haven where wild birds and lost or strayed animals could always find a meal.
Family pets adored Mom, especially Tinki, a small Maltese, who would sleep at
her feet with her mouth around mom's slipper. Mom loved being outside and
working in her yard. She grew wonderful tomatoes each year and despite protest
from her children she maintained her own lawn until she was 82. After
graduating from high school in 1939, mom moved to Omaha, Nebraska to attend
business school where she met her future husband, Fred E. Pierson, Jr. They
were married on January 7, 1945 and they were true-life partners until his
death in 1987. Fred was also raised on a farm and throughout their lives mom
and dad remained true to the Mid-west Christian values of compassion, honesty,
hard work and self sufficiency which were instilled in them by their parents.
As newlyweds they moved to Wendover, Utah where Fred was stationed during
World War II. They moved to Salt Lake City after the war and started T.V.
Radio Center, which they successfully operated together for 42 years. Mom and
dad purchased their home in 1951 and continued to live in the same
neighborhood for the remainder of their lives. Mom felt blessed to have such
wonderful neighbors and friends for 54 years. Mom and dad were charter members
of Christ United Methodist Church, members of the East Millcreek Lions Club
and the Sugarhouse Rotary Club. They were avid bowlers and participated in
evening bowling leagues at the Sue Rich and Ritz Classic Bowling Lanes. Mom
also bowled in an afternoon league at Fairmont Bowling Lanes. Mom and dad
enjoyed fishing and boating. They regularly visited Island Park, Idaho to
"dangle a pole", and spent many weekends at Bear Lake and Lake Mead boating
with family. They traveled extensively throughout their lives, visiting
relatives scattered throughout the U.S. and taking business trips with Wells
Distributing Company to Europe, Hawaii and the Caribbean. Carol's family would
like to thank her friends for their love and devotion to her throughout the
years: Shirley and Irene, her friends from home, Sally and Jim, Larry and
Shawna and Gene and Flo, bowling friends, Chick and Maida, Don and Janet,
Lillian, and LaDean, her neighbors, Ray Tripp, a co-worker. We as family are
especially indebted to UTA Flex-Trans Driver, Algernon Hoskins, who, by his
heroic efforts saved our mother's life in 1996 and gave us an additional nine
years with her. Preceded in death by her husband of 42 years, Fred; her
parents, Earl and Sylvia Dashner, her brothers, Max (Marjorie) Dashner, Earl
(Lorraine) Dashner, Jr. and sister Lorraine (Frederick) Newell. Survived by
daughter, Linda, son, Scott, daughter-in-law, Sandy, granddaughter, Amanda;
sisters and brothers-in-law, Lorraine Dashner, Betty and Bob Pearson, Bob and
Merle Pierson, Maurine and Warren Olson and Marcella and Mike Garland; animal
family members- Spunki, Snickers, Scooter, Sparkle and the Lolli-Bits.

Triptow, Craig Ray       
Craig Ray Triptow 1984 ~ 2005 Craig Ray Triptow, our loving son and brother,
passed away on September 14, 2005. Nobody expected his light to flicker at
such a young age with so much promise. He was born on November 9, 1984 at
Cottonwood Hospital in Murray, Utah. As a little boy, Craig was all over the
neighborhood playing with his friends and getting into mischief. He was quiet
by nature but always had a smile on his face. Times spent on top of the dog
pile with his dad and brother were the best of times. Joining mom and her
friends and the neighbor kids for frozen yogurt were days of simple happiness.
Craig enjoyed athletics and was good at many sports. He grew into an excellent
young man who excelled academically and had much depth to his thinking. He
communicated at a high level with his interest in writing. He majored in
English at the University of Utah where he earned a place on the Dean's list
every semester. He was scheduled to graduate with honors this year. He had a
very bright future. Craig is survived by his parents Brian Ray and Jody Ann.
He is also survived by his brother Kelley and his loving grandparents Richard
and Marian Jenkins of Kearns. He was preceded in death by his grandparents
Robert and Bonny Triptow. We honor Craig by celebrating his life and not
dwelling on a brief moment of despair. Craig had a loving heart. We thank you

Tua'one, Kekumi Feletoa       
Kekumi Feletoa Tua'one 4/24/1964 ~ 9/15/2005 "There is always room for
improvement." Born April 24, 1964 in Fahefa, Tonga, Kekumi Feletoa Tua'one
returned to our Father in Heaven September 15, 2005. Our loving father,
husband, brother, uncle, and friend will be missed but never forgotten. Kekumi
is born of goodly parents, Viliata Feletoa Tua'one and Mele Pilimilose
Itaehau, both of whom have gone on before him. His passion for life and
unselfishness will continue with those he has touched along his way. His
legacy of "always thinking ahead," giving without hesitation, agreeing without
arguing, and loving so many without judgment; will grow within everyone that
he came in contact with. Kekumi lived to provide for his family. He lived a
life that paved the way for others to follow. He was a part of the foundation
for his family that laid the ground work on how to return to our Father in
Heaven. Kekumi was old enough to understand the "older" generation's concerns
and protocols, young enough to relate to the "younger" generation's troubles,
but most of all wise enough to communicate between the two. He is the glue
that holds them together. Kekumi attended Fahefa and Jackson Elementary,
Northwest Middle School, and graduated from West High School. As a young boy,
he came with his mother Pilimilose Tua'one to the United States from whom he
learned the values of raising a family. He is one of 16 children who strived
for the betterment of not only his immediate family, but his entire family,
including but not limited to countless nieces, nephews, brothers, sisters, and
friends. He was constantly making sure that no one felt left behind, that
everyone's needs were met, and most of all, that his family had the best of
the best. Kekumi served faithfully as a servant of our Heavenly Father in the
Islands of Tonga. He continued to serve as a Scoutmaster in the Canon Ward and
his Granger 6th Ward as a wonderful home teacher, youth advisor, and a ward
missionary. Kekumi is the hardest working individual that anyone will ever
know. He worked 14-16 hours a day striving for "improvement," after which he
spent the rest of his time loving and helping to raise his family. His
everlasting attempts for improvement have motivated all of those around him to
do the same. Kekumi is survived by his wife of 20 years, Neilani Wilson; and
five beautiful children, Dennis, 19, sophomore at Boston College, Maile, 18,
freshman at the University of Utah, Rosemary, 17, senior, and Kanika, 15,
sophomore both at Rowland Hall-St. Mark's; and K.J. 11, sixth grader at
Stansbury Elementary; brothers, Hailame, Pita, Lupeni, Loleni, Tupou, and
Skylawn Tua'one; and sisters, Salote Vaenuku, Sinai Tupou, Lativia Kolomalu,
and Ana Manu. Funeral services will be held Tuesday and Wednesday. Tuesday at
Larkin Sunset Gardens, 1950 East 10600 South, Sandy, Utah, from 7-11 p.m.
Wednesday at the Granger 6th Ward, 3271 South Hillsdale Drive, West Valley
City, Utah from 10 a.m.-12 noon. God took the strength of a mountain, The
majesty of a tree. The warmth of a summer sun, The calm of a quiet sea. The
generous soul of nature, The comforting arm of night The wisdom of the ages,
The power of the eagle's flight. Then God combined these qualities, There was
nothing more to add. His masterpiece was now complete, He lovingly called it,
Dad.

Van Orman, Eva Christensen         
Eva Christensen Van Orman 1913 ~ 2005 Eva Christensen Van Orman, 91,
peacefully passed away at home in Provo, Utah September 16, 2005. Born
December 10, 1913 the youngest child of Chresten Carl Christensen and Ellen
Susanna Jorgensen. She was preceded in death by her parents; six siblings; and
two sons, Robert and Chresten. Eva is rejoicing in her reunion with them and
especially with her father, who died when she was two. Left to cherish her
memory are her husband of 70 years; her daughter, Ellen Hutt (Larry); and
sons, Jan (Margot) and John Gregory (Mickey). She will be honored and revered
by her 11 grandchildren, and 19 great-grandchildren. Eva was born and raised
in Provo and attended a year at Brigham Young University. Then moving to New
York City, she met a talented young artist, John A. Van Orman, whom she
married September 26, 1935. They were sealed in the Salt Lake Temple. Eva and
John raised their young family in beautiful Westchester County, New York,
until 1954 when John followed his career in the movie industry to Southern
California. There Eva taught her growing children and was very active in
church and community affairs. She presided over all of the LDS Church women's
organizations for many years and was a respected leader and friend to so many.
After retirement in 1975, John and Eva moved to St. George, where they lived
and served until coming to Provo in 2002, to be closer to family and return
home. This magnificent woman epitomized dignity and grace. Her life was
complete. Everyone who knew Eva was uplifted by her happy outgoing spirit and
talents freely given. From her earliest years she delighted in the beauty of
nature, the flowers of summer, songs of the birds, the forests of New York,
the coast of California, the deserts and mountains of the West. Eva was a
gifted homemaker who beautified everything around her. She taught herself to
be a good photographer and an accomplished painter so she could capture the
splendor of the world she so enjoyed. Her fine crafts and beautiful paintings
are now treasured by all her family. Eva taught her children to share her love
of music and to serve others. Even late in life she served joyfully in the
temple, the Family History Center, the hospital, and in her community. Most of
all, Eva followed the restored gospel of Jesus Christ and brought her family
with her. Her love of life and beauty, her believing faith, and her dedicated
service have become a profound example and influence for good to her family,
and all who were blessed to know her. The family wishes to especially express
deep appreciation to our sister, Ellen, who has devoted these past three years
to giving constant loving attention in making Mom's life comfortable and happy
until the very end. She and her husband, Larry, have given much. We will bid
sweet farewell to Eva Tuesday, September 20, 2005. Funeral services will be
held 10 a.m. at the Slate Canyon Eight Ward, 1745 S. State Street (Hwy. 89) in
South Provo. Eva will be interred in the Provo City Cemetery. Instead of

where Eva volunteered for many years.
