Lunceford, Wayne Jack 1920 - 2005 On the morning of November 9, 2005, after suffering for many years with multiple health problems, our darling father, husband and friend was finally released from his pain. While we are saddened by his death, we rejoice in a life well lived and a peaceful end to his constant suffering. Wayne J. ("Jack") Lunceford was born to George Horace and Lutie Hales Lunceford on May 22, 1920, in Orem, Utah. Dad attended school in Orem and graduated from the old Lincoln High in 1938. When he was 13 years old, the catalyst for years of later health crises came about when he contracted rheumatic fever and spent a year recuperating. At the absurd age of 16, Dad managed to talk his way into a bank loan in the princely amount of $1,800 to start a chicken business - thus marking the beginning of his independent spirit. At 23, he bought an acre of land and built a home next door to his parents. He rented the house for several years while he lived at home to care for his mother who was suffering from ovarian cancer. The day after her funeral in 1947, he moved into his "little house" next door. He went on to buy 3 more parcels of land and began his lifelong passion of raising his "Lunceford Quality" fruit. Considered to be a "confirmed bachelor," Dad proved everyone wrong by marrying the love of his life, Gloria Snell, on October 8, 1952, in the Salt Lake Temple. He was determined to own a home and property and be as financially secure as possible before taking on the responsibilities of marriage and family. He was always aware of the heart damage he incurred as a child and he fully intended to die at a young age. Instead, he had his first heart surgery in1963 and miraculously returned to excellent health, allowing him to continue his hard work for many years to come. We will remember Dad best as a hard working farmer. His greatest joy came in working in his orchards from dawn til dark with Mom at his side (or sometimes driving the tractor) and offering her constant love and support. Since it's difficult to support a family with the uncertainties inherent in farming, Dad also worked for many years at Geneva Steel to assure that we were was always secure. We recognized that he worked at a job he disliked so that he could continue to work at something he loved - farming. Dad retired from Geneva in 1976 after 25 years of service, but continued farming until it became clear that his health would no longer permit such exhausting work. Over the ensuing years, he reluctantly sold his beautiful orchards and watched as his lovingly-planted trees were uprooted. We know that he would have preferred to die in an orchard while doing what he loved best. Unfortunately, Dad had many years of heartbreaking health challenges ahead, including a year of chemotherapy and later valve replacement surgery from which he never fully recovered. Dad was an infinitely kind, loving and patient man. An eternal optimist, even in excruciating pain Dad always had a smile and a kind word for everyone. He adored his family and we count ourselves blessed to be the children of this remarkable man. We loved him dearly and will miss his loving presence in our lives. Dad was preceded in death by his parents and five siblings; Eugene, Kenneth, Gearld, Donald and June Hardy. He is survived by his loving wife and constant care giver, Gloria his five children; Craig, Laura (Dave) Diels, Brian (Suzanne), Bruce (Shalauna) and James; his daughter, Laura Lunceford (Dave) Diels; his grandchildren; Chance, Sidney, Jack, Zoe and Nicole; 7 step-grandchildren; and many nieces and nephews. Dad's viewing will be held on Sunday, November 13, 2005, from 5-7 pm in the Walker Sanderson Funeral Home, 646 East 800 North, Orem. Funeral services will be held on Monday, November 14, 2005, at 12 noon in the Sharon Park 2nd Ward Chapel, 225 East 200 North, Orem, with a viewing from 10:45-11:45 am prior to the services at the church.
