the family farm during the depression. He graduated from high school in
Morrison as the only young man in his graduating class of five. He maintained
contact with his classmates throughout his life. He enlisted in the
"Army-Airforce" when he was 17, after eating bananas and milk to make the
required weight. He was being trained as a pilot when the war ended. Commodore
eloped with Patsy Irene Upshaw of Blackburn, Oklahoma when denied permission
to marry by Patsy's father. Commodore worked for Western Contracting
Corporation as an automotive electrician. His work took him to Texas and South
Dakota to build dams, Atlanta to build the airport runway, and California to

Arizona to supplement their retirement. They retired to Orem, Utah in 1988.

and Patsy joined the LDS Church in Pierre, following an 18 month intensive
personal investigation of church doctrine. Thirty-one years later they
returned to South Dakota when called, co-incidentally, to serve a couples

the armed forces. Commodore had many church callings, including 14 years on
the High Council, Bishop of the Palmdale, California Second Ward, Councilor in
the Stake Presidency and also served with his wife in the Provo and Mount
Timpanogos Temples. Commodore is a man of uncommon, quiet devotion and
spiritual endurance. His life's legacy may be best defined by the question
asked by friends and family, "How do you measure the eternal impact of such a
man?" Our heartfelt thanks and appreciation go to the many family members,
friends, neighbors, and Hospice workers who showed so much tender care and
concern. Funeral services for Commodore Perry Rush will be held Monday, May 9,
