Grow, DeLore Tud DeLore Tud Grow On April 18, 2005, our fun loving, pool playing, trout catching, Harley-Davidson riding Uncle Tud passed away at the great age of 80, to finally be with the rest of his family. On May 16, 1924 DeLore Tud Grow was born the fifth child of six to Henry and Ruth Halls Grow in Huntsville, Utah. Tud graduated from Weber High School. The very school that his mother wrote the school song for. He married Ruth Marble, (later divorced) and from that union they had a baby daughter, Dalyce Grow, whom only survived one day. Also married Donna Wells, (later divorced). For 50 years Tud was a proud member of the Fraternal Order of Eagles. An organization from which he made numerous life long friends. Uncle Tud was a car salesman all his life. He loved the interaction with all the people he met. (But mostly I think he liked that he could keep his own hours.) You could always bet if there was a pool table around, so was Tud. It was his game of choice, and he was very good at i t. He told me more that once in the last couple of years, that of all the things he could not do anymore, that was the recreation he missed most. Anyone who knew Uncle Tud, knew that he loved to listen to the Ink Spots. The last time Cindy and I visited him in Ogden, we played the CD's and he sang and laughed as we danced to them. The last of his siblings to pass, he is now enjoying a reunion with his parents, older brother Otto Grow, sisters, June Van Fleet, Avon (Billie) Gray, Lucile (Tootsie) Carter, Dixie Gilbert, niece Judy Richins, nephews, John Grow and Paul Van Fleet and baby daughter, Dalyce. Leaving behind his nieces, Nanci Kummer, Cindy Martin, Janet Pinto, Susan White, Kae Gibson and nephews Neal Hansen and Scott Van Fleet. Also several great nieces and nephews. On behalf of Uncle Tud, I would like to thank The Moving Crew. You know who you are. He loved and appreciated you all very much Graveside services will be held 1 p.m. Saturday April 23, 2005 at Huntsville City Cemetery, Cemetery Point. Dear Uncle Tud, I will always remember these last couple of years that we had to get to know each other so well. I will miss that I no longer have someone to call Uncle.
