Aldrich, Azer (Memoriam)
IN LOVING MEMORY OF AZER BRIGGS ALDRICH April 18, 1948 - Jan. 23, 2004 A year
ago God took you by the hand and led you to a better place. It broke our
hearts to lose you. You did not go alone, for part of us went with you the day
God called you home. Our family chain is broken and nothing seems the same.
But as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again. We miss and love
you, Bill, Jeanne, Julie, Jill and Wayne

Baird, Bruce C.
Bruce C. Baird Gone Golfin OGDEN - Bruce C. Baird, 64, passed away Thursday,
January 20, 2005 at University of Utah Hospital in Salt Lake City from a
sudden illness. A father who taught me all I needed to know about faith and
hard work by the simple eloquence of his example. Mario Cuomo. He was born
August 8, 1940 in Ogden to Clarence W. and Alice Mortenson Baird. He married
Joan Waggoner on November 8, 1963 in Pacific Grove, California. They divorced
in 2004, but remained good friends. Bruce spent his youth in Ogden and later
moved to the Marriott area. He graduated from Ogden High in 1958 and he
attended Weber College. He loved playing baseball and he earned his letters in
the sport, but a knee injury dashed his hopes of a professional career. He
played little league and junior league baseball. He was a member of the LDS
Church. Bruce loved all sports, especially watching the Utah Jazz and
football. He enjoyed camping, his cars and cooking, but his biggest hobby was
his grandki ds and golf competed for his time. Surviving are his ex-wife and
good friend, Joan of Clearfield; one son and three daughters, Brett Bruce
(Londalee) Baird, Plain City; Kelly (Danny) Price, West Haven; Chera Baird
(fiance Mike Ballingham), Clearfield; Alisa (Rhett) Rivera, Ogden; and seven
grandchildren, Sydney, Cody, Miranda, Chelsee, Breanna, Brooklyn, and

his mother-in-law, Opal Waggoner; sister and brothers-in-law, Joyce (Joe)

many nieces and nephews; special friends, Monte Brown, Ron Bradshaw, Jerry
Wilson, Tom Dalton; and his golfing buddies, Ernie, Dave, Boyd, Steve, Bruce,
Kamran and many others. He was preceded in death by his parents, brothers
Robert and Keith Peters; niece Kris Peters; and his father-in-law Roy
Waggoner. A father who ruled with a stern hand, but who could be considered
one of our biggest fans. He may have not had the words to express, but showed
we were never loved any less. A person who will be greatly missed, but one we
would have liked to have given another kiss. We love you dad. Love, Kelly.
Special thanks from the family to Dr. Robert P. Hansen, Dr. Kraiss, and the
special nurses that attended to Bruce's needs. Funeral services will be held

with cancer. Elnor was born September 4, 1929 in Divide, North Dakota, the
youngest of eight children of Danish immigrants, Frederick and Helmina Dagner
Lund. The first 15 years of her life were spent in North Dakota. She moved to
Ogden, Utah in 1944 where she attended city schools and graduated from Ogden
High School in 1948. (In 1998, she had attended her local high school 50-year
class reunion, renewing many old acquaintances.) On December 31, 1948, Elnor
married Joseph William (Bill) Baxter in Ogden, Utah. They had four children.
They resided in Ogden and the surrounding area until July 1970 when they made
a permanent move to Alaska, residing first in Palmer and the past 34 years in
Wasilla. Mr. Baxter died September 22, 1997. During her 26 year residence in

Blanch M.D., G. Thomas
SALT LAKE CITY - George Thomas Blanch, Jr., M.D., passed away peacefully in
his home in Salt Lake City on January 19, 2005, after spending more than three
years fighting health complications relating to a heart attack and heart
transplant. He was 68 years old. Tom Blanch was born December 18, 1936 in
Logan, Utah, to George Thomas Blanch, Sr., and Eva Baxter Blanch. Tom grew up
in Logan as the eldest of three children, with younger sister Barbara and
younger brother Joe. Tom always excelled academically, and after his
graduation from Logan High School, he attended Utah State University, where he
majored in zoology with an emphasis in genetics. Following college, Tom
attended the University of Utah Medical School, where he graduated first in
his class and delivered the graduation address to his fellow students. While
in medical school Tom met Mary Cristine Wadsworth, who swept him off his feet
and became the love of his life. Tom and Cristie were married shortly b efore
his medical school graduation, and they moved to Boston, Massachusetts, where
Tom did his residency with the Harvard Medical Service, where he served a year
as Chief Resident. Prior to completing his residency, Tom took a one-year
leave to attend Johns Hopkins University and earn a Masters of Public Health
degree. Following his residency, Tom spent two years in San Antonio, Texas as
a Major in the United States Army. Tom and Cristie returned to Utah in 1971,
and Tom spent two years completing a fellowship in cardiology at the
University of Utah. After that, Tom joined the staff of the Ogden Clinic,
where he practiced internal medicine and cardiology for more than 25 years and
treated hundreds of patients who dearly loved him. During this time, Tom also
had a faculty appointment at the University of Utah Medical School and spent a
period as President of the Medical Staff at McKay-Dee Hospital. In
approximately 1999, Tom left the Ogden Clinic to help run the Senior Clinic at
Ogden Regi onal Medical Center. Tom relished that opportunity and continued at
Ogden Regional until health problems forced him into retirement in late 2001.
The greatest tragedy of Tom's life came in early 2001, with Cristie's untimely
death from cancer. We believe the difficulties and sorrows resulting from that
experience led directly to Tom's own health crisis only six months later. Tom
leaves behind his and Cristie's three children, James Thomas Blanch (Julianne)
and Dr. Jonathan Wadsworth Blanch (Laine) of Salt Lake City, and Sarah
Elizabeth Blanch of Los Angeles, California. Also surviving are his sister and
brother, Barbara Robertson of Orange, California, and Dr. Joseph P. Blanch of
Logan, Utah. Preceding Tom in death were his parents and an infant daughter,
Laura Elizabeth Blanch, who was born prematurely and passed away in 1969. We
will miss our father and brother terribly. Memorial services will be held
Tuesday, January 25, 2005 at 1:00 p.m. at Lindquist's Ogden Mortuary, 3408 Wa
shington Blvd., in Ogden, Utah. Family will meet with friends at the mortuary
on Monday from 6 to 8 p.m. and Tuesday from Noon to 12:45 p.m. Tom will be
buried in the Logan City Cemetery. Email condolences to the family at

Peaslee, Michael Eugene
10/18/69 - 01/19/05 Michael Eugene Peaslee, after a lifetime of physical
hardship, passed away with grace on January 19, 2005, with his mother and
father holding his hand. He was 35 years old. Michael was born in Salt Lake
City on October 18, 1969, to Robert and Marla Peaslee. Despite health
challenges and handicaps, he graduated from Clearfield High in 1988 and worked
for PARC for well over a decade. During those years at PARC, he performed all
kinds of duties in places ranging from the Hill Air History Museum to the
Freeport Center. But, no matter the job or location, there was always one
constant - his ability to make friends with his coworkers. A number of those
friendships continued long after working together had stopped. Michael was
generous with his friends, too; he listened often and without complaint, and
gave wholeheartedly when he sensed even a hint of need. At home, he found joy
in front of a screen, whether that was watching one of his many movi es or
surfing the internet. But his real pleasure in life was time with his family,
going to the Cineplex with his dad, teasing his mom, and playing with his dog.
Surviving family includes his mother and father; brothers Kevin Peaslee of
Salt Lake City, Utah, and David Peaslee of Dexter, Oregon; sister Lyn Cautrell
of Springfield, Oregon; as well as many caring cousins, nephews and nieces,
aunts and uncles, and his ever-faithful dog Katie. Funeral services will be
held Monday, January 24, 2005 at 11 a.m. at Lindquist's Layton Mortuary, 1867

Wilcock, Mark (Memoriam)
IN LOVING MEMORY OF MARK WILCOCK Dec. 4 1961 - Jan. 23, 2004Don't Grieve for
me for now I'm free, I'm following the path God has laid you see. I took His
hand when I heard Him call, I turned my back and left it all. I could not stay
another day, To laugh, to love, to work, to play. Tasks left undone must stay
that way, I found that peace at the close of day. If my parting has left a
void, Then fill it with remembered joys. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,
Oh, yes, these things I too will miss. be not burdened with times of sorrow. I
wish you the sunshine of tomorrow. My life's been full, I've savored much,
Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch. Perhaps my time seemed all too
brief, Don't lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your hearts and peace
to thee, God wanted me now, He set me free. Love Mom, Jason, Brody, Shelby and
Sandy
