2005. He was born May 18, 1917 in Salt Lake City, Utah to Walter Poole and
Estella Longson Gardiner. As a lad he farmed the East Bench of Salt Lake City.
During WWII he worked at the munitions plant. He married Ethel Farr on January
13,1944 in the Salt Lake LDS Temple. After the war he and his brother Tom
purchased a farm in Bluffdale. He and his family moved onto the farm in 1958
and lived there until 1993 when he and his beloved Ethel moved to Southern
Utah. He loved farming and ranching. Even though he had tractors he took great
satisfaction in cultivating his sugar beets with a team of horses. Life on the
farm was difficult and he supplemented his farm by working as a school bus
driver and as a security guard for the sugar factory in West Jordan. Later he
became a deputy responsible for guarding the Salt Lake County complex.

An avid reader and always thirsting for knowledge he read three different
complete sets of encyclopedias from cover to cover.

He was a faithful High Priest and active member of The Church of Jesus Christ
of Latter-day Saints.

great-great grandchildren. He is also survived by his brother Thomas A.
