George, 68, passed peacefully from this life on February 25, 2005 from complications of ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease). Surrounded by his loving family, he ended his 14-year struggle with the disease with his signature courage and faith. Carter was born on August 29, 1936 in Bountiful, UT to Aaron Rex George and Edith Laura Amundsen. He spent his early years in Bountiful, then moved to Bynum, MT when he was 8. He was one of 18 children and fondly remembered growing up on the family ranch. After graduating from Choteau High School, he served honorably in the United States Marine Corp, where he was a proud veteran of the Korean War. He later graduated with a BA Degree in English from Utah State University. Carter married his eternal sweetheart, Renate Erika Krisch, on June 17, 1960 in the Salt Lake LDS Temple. They enjoyed 45 years of wonderful companionship and welcomed 7 children to their home. Their children are: Daryl C. George (Diony) of Salt Lake City; Debra G. Hunsaker (Robert) of Syracuse; David K. George (Nancy) of Layton; Duane A. George (Aleshia) of Kennesaw GA; Daniel R. George (Shirley) of Novi, MI; Dennis M. George (Sarah) of Kaysville; and Demere G. Knecht (Todd) of Winchester, VA. They were also blessed with 24 grandchildren, who were his pride and joy. Carter spent several memorable years in the South at the beginning of his career working as a technical writer, tutor, and life insurance salesman in Bunswick, GA and Melbourne/Orlando, FL. In 1975, the family returned to Utah where Carter was a long-time resident of Kaysville and Fruit Heights. He was a Certified Financial Planner, CLU and lifelong member of the Million Dollar Round Table. He was a founding partner of Oxford Financial Group, served on many professional boards and was highly respected in his industry. He was at the top of his game when he was forced to retire due to his disease. He loved helping families prepare themselves for their inevitable future, and when it wa s no longer feasible to help them through his chosen profession, he began a second career helping his fellowmen and providing encouragement and assistance to other patients/families struggling with ALS. He was a sought-after speaker, advocate for the disabled (serving on the board of Enable Industries) and prolific writer. Carter dictated to his computer (having no use of his limbs) several cherished books on family history (including his own history), a guidebook to those with ALS, and finished just days ago his last book - on dying. Carter was a faithful member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints where he served in many leadership callings including bishoprics, high councils, and stake presidencies. He endured well, serving as a beloved Sunday school teacher for the last several years of his life. Carter is survived by his wife, Renate; seven children and their spouses; 24 grandchildren; his mother-in-law Emma Krisch, Bountiful; and brothers and sister - Don George, Shir l E. George, Keith R. George, Calvin R. George, James L. George, Dale George and Lois G. Sessions. He was preceded in death by his parents, Aaron and Edith George; father-in-law Wilhelm Krisch; and several beloved brothers and sisters. It was surely a glorious reunion. Carter always said that when he died, he was going to strap on his running shoes and run right through those "pearly gates." His wife and family would like to thank all the family members, friends, neighbors, business associates, trusted caregivers, members of the ALS support group and medical professionals who have been such a source of help and strength these last several years.

Hollis, Kenneth Harold ROY - Kenneth Harold Hollis, a proud member of "The Greatest Generation" who loved life so much and lived it to the fullest, has finally decided it was time to go fishing on those trout streams up in heaven. He died Thursday, February 24, 2005, at the home of his son, surrounded by those who loved him, after a valiant 18-month battle with leukemia. Just two weeks earlier, Harold had celebrated his 82nd birthday. When he was diagnosed with a pre-leukemia condition in October 2003, doctors told him he probably had only 3-6 months to live. But with the fierce fighting spirit that served him so well when he defended his country 60 years earlier in World War II, he fought this disease and continually fooled the doctors who counted him out, time and again. Just two days before his death, he was up walking the hallways of the VA Hospital, trying to get stronger in an effort to get well again and fool 'em one more time. He was so proud to have served his country in the U.S. Army during WWII, when he participated in the Normandy Invasion-D-Day plus 6 - and numerous other battle campaigns. He received several combat medals, including a Purple Heart. The words "class," "style," "grace," "gentleman" and "generous" come to mind most often when talking about Harold Hollis. He was a man with great character and courage, a man with many great friends who cherished their association with him. He was an outdoorsman who enjoyed hunting pheasant, ducks, antelope and deer, and later in life he became an avid fisherman. He loved spending time at Ken's cabin in Wyoming. He'll be greatly missed by his ol' hunting and fishing buddies Gerry, Dee, Tobe and Cindell, his son Ken and grandson Taylor, but he'll be anxiously greeted at the gates of heaven by his Mom and Dad, his two brothers, and by a couple of his dear old friends Reed Shaw and Dee Hendry, who went ahead of him to scout out the territory and will no doubt be waiting for him with a hearty laugh and a good bull sto ry. Harold was born February 10, 1923, in Wayne, OK, the son of Taylor Albert and Elva Hardcastle Hollis. He grew up in Oklahoma and, after World War II, married Jayne Kelly in 1948. They were later divorced but remained friends. He married Maxine Peterson in 1962. They were later divorced. He worked in the purchasing department at Pacific Iron and Steel (later Jetway Equipment Corp.) in California and was transferred from Los Angeles to Ogden in 1955. He founded Hollis Industrial Supply and Paints in 1965 and owned and operated his company until retiring in 1992. Dad leaves behind two sons and two daughters: Kenneth A. (Bonnie) Hollis, North Ogden; Randy (Susan) Hollis, Roy; Shannon A. (John) Sasse', Tampa FL; and Jacqueline Hollis, Ogden; 11 grandchildren and six great-grandchildren, and numerous nephews, nieces and friends, all of whom adored him and thought he was the greatest guy in the world. He is also survived by two sisters: Evelyn McAtee of Fort Smith, AK; and Laverne Walck o f Tecumseh, OK. We will all cherish his memory and all the good times we shared together forever. He was preceded in death by his parents and two brothers, Oran "Chuck" Hollis and Blaine Hollis. The family wishes to thank his wonderful home care nurses, the doctors and staff at the VA Hospital and the Hospice nurses who were so kind and helpful to Harold as he fought his illness. Funeral services will be held Wednesday, March 2, 2005 at 11 a.m. at Myers Mortuary in Roy, 5865 South 1900 West, with Bishop Keith Foulger officiating.
