William Lorin Whipple, better known as Bill, passed away from post-surgical complications on June 18, 2018. He was born to Walter LeGrand and Erline Whipple on November 15, 1945, in Logan, Utah, while his father was serving in WWII. He did not formally receive a name until he was six months old, because his dad was deployed.
Bill grew up in Idaho Falls on North Boulevard which he endearingly called North Beanyard. He always joked that his cars ran on beanaline, their cat was named Beans, and his brothers were named Bean Blossom and Bean Sprout. He attended Idaho Falls High School and graduated in 1964. He served a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints from 1965 to 1967 in the British South Mission. Bill married Emily Elizabeth Wanlass June 7, 1968, in the Idaho Falls Temple. They celebrated their 50th anniversary shortly before his passing. Bill and Emily have 5 boys and 4 girls. They view their children as their greatest accomplishment. Everything Bill did, he did for his family. He used to joke that since he chose to have 9 children he had to have 9 jobs.
Bill worked for his father as an electrician and earned his Journeyman certification before leaving on his mission. He went on to become an electrical contractor which helped provide for his family over the years. He worked for 15 years in newspaper circulation at The Post Register and continued his connection to the paper by helping his 9 kids deliver numerous paper routes over a span of 19 years. Bill earned an associate degree from Ricks College, a BBA from Idaho State University, and an MBA from University of Idaho. He started teaching in 1969 and taught for 33 years with a majority of those years at Bonneville High School in the business department. Teaching was a passion for him and kept him young at heart. Because of his influence, many of his students left with a love of Dr. Pepper and the Simpsons cartoons. Bill also served in the community as a Licensed Public Accountant from 1971 until his death. All of these occupations forged a strong connection to the community.
Bill was an avid car collector. He belonged to the Corvette Club and the Goldwing Road Riders Association. While teaching, he was the advisor for Business Professionals of America. He was excellent at practical and theoretical accounting. Bill also served in many positions in the LDS church over his lifetime. He played the trombone, euphonium, baritone, tuba, sousaphone, banjo, guitar, and snootflute. He shared his love of music with his children and grandchildren.
Bill is survived by his wife, Emily; his 4 brothers: Walter, Weldon, Wilford, and Wesley Whipple; his 9 children: Ian (Tania) Whipple, Quinn (Emily) Whipple, Graham (Devon) Whipple, Heather (Rob) Maynes, Meg (JJ) Seamons, Nathan (Jennifer) Whipple, Maryann (Chris) Ogden, Amanda (Joey) White, and Derek (Brooke) Whipple. Bill’s pride and joy was his 33 grandchildren.
He considered himself a wealthy man whose wealth was his family. He was a beloved father and grandfather and will be deeply missed by his wife, his family, and all who knew him.
Services will be held at 1:00 p.m., Saturday, June 23, 2018, at the Lincoln Stake Center, 2545 Mesa Street. Family will receive friends from 6-8:00 p.m., Friday, June 22, 2018, at Coltrin Mortuary, 2100 First Street, and one hour prior to services. Burial will be at Ammon Cemetery.

FORTY-NINE YEARS LATERIn addition to the wonderful visitors we have in the #MesaTemple Visitors’ Center, we get to know inspiring young missionaries from the Gilbert, Tempe, Scottsdale, Phoenix, and Mesa missions. Recently, Elder and Sister Cameron, directors of the center, got to know Elder Edwards who was from London. Elder Cameron asked the Elder if he knew Wally and Sylvia Edwards from Camberley, Surrey. Elder Edwards got very excited and said that Wally and Sylvia Edwards were his grandparents.
It was an emotional moment when Elder Cameron revealed that he and his companion, Elder Robert Layton, while serving in the British South Mission in 1966, had taught and baptized Brother and Sister Edwards. The conversation became one filled with sweetness and nostalgia.
+The British South Mission extends from the Chiltern Hills on the north to the Southampton Docks on the south. It is an area of great beauty found in the green rolling, hills; the rivers that cut across the valleys and through the stately woods; the rocky beaches that surround this island. It is a land that whispers of the past as you explore great castles, old cottages and admire monuments honouring those who thrust their fellow men ahead with their sacrifice
It is the heart of Quaker territory and the burial place of William Penn. Cromwell’s troops once tramped on these fields and left land marks of this troubled period. John Milton lived in a small village during the great plague and wrote part of Paridise Lost in a humble cottage here. One of the world's great universities as well as a most prestigious public school are within its bounds. Queen Elizabeth II is in residence part of each year in this beautiful and historic part of England.
Most important, the British South Mission has well established branches of the Church with devoted members striving to preach the Gospel to all who will listen. It is a dynamic force, ...

Guest Book "We were sad to hear of Roger's passing. Our lives were..." - Mark and Dorothy McDonough View Sign In Loving Memory Roger Lee Reynolds, 64, of Provo, passed away on March 4, 2013 at home surrounded by his loving wife and family. He was born October 11, 1948, the son of Bill and Naomi Reynolds in Hemet, California. He served a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the British South Mission from 1968 through 1970.
He married Deborah Hanvey on January 29, 1971 in the Los Angeles California LDS Temple. He spent his career working in the college bookstore industry, working at BYU, Deseret Book, University of Utah, Stanford University, Cornell University, and Ingram Book Company, before returning to BYU in 1999 as Director of the BYU Bookstore. Roger was a hardworking and kind man who loved his family and friends with all his heart.
He was a bit of a prankster who especially loved spending time with his grandchildren…they have fond memories of him playing with them, having water-balloon fights, and going on memorable vacations. He always had a big infectious smile and a twinkle in his eye. All those who knew him, especially his family, knew how much he loved them and how much he loved the gospel of Jesus Christ. He set an amazing example for everyone he knew, and all those who met him, no matter how briefly, felt honored to have him in their lives. He was always ready and eager to help anyone in need. He also served diligently in his church callings, including as a bishop and branch president.
He
is survived by his wife Debbi and children Scott (Adrea), Kim, and
Kelsey Jeffs (Michael), and by his four grandchildren, Avalee, Sadie,
Boede, and Lily. He is also survived by his sister Joan Gale (Nord),
brother Harold (Nancy), sister-in-law Randy, and lots of loving cousins,
nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents and his
brother Ralph.
A special thanks to the staff, doctors, and nurses at Huntsman Cancer

him. Your hard work, compassion and friendship meant so much to him.

Not an obituary but went to the British South Mission
When
Larry Miner Gibson graduated from high school, he decided to hike into
Havasupai, Arizona, USA, in the Grand Canyon, where he spent several
days reading the Book of Mormon and praying about and pondering on his
testimony. He says he cannot remember a time that he did not know the
Church was true, but he wanted to make sure he had a solid focus and
foundation before going out into the world.
“Some
very sacred things happened during that experience,” he says, “that
helped me as I went away to school and then on a mission.”
He
served a full-time mission to the British South Mission from 1966 to
1968, married Shirley Barton in the Manti Utah Temple in September 1968,
and has served in various Church callings. At the time of his call he
was serving as stake president, and he previously served as a stake
president’s counselor, high councilor, bishop, and ward and stake Young
Men president.
Brother
Gibson graduated with a degree in computer science and business from
Brigham Young University in 1971. He received his master’s degree in
information science from BYU in 1974.
He
has been president and CEO of several technology companies and most
recently was executive vice president and CTO for a Fortune 500 company.
The
Gibsons and their six children enjoy scuba diving, hot air ballooning,
cycling, hiking, camping, and traveling. He and his wife currently live
in Highland, Utah.
Brother Gibson was born on February 26, 1947, in Boulder City, Nevada, USA, to Robert Owen and Thais Miner Gibson

Church Tax Division Created
Junior
Wright Child, managing director of Church Welfare Services, has been
named to direct a new tax accounting and reporting unit with the
Church’s Finance Department.
A new managing director of Welfare Services is expected to be named soon.
The growth of the Church internationally and the increasing complexity of tax laws have prompted the organization of the unit.
“With
today’s tax laws, every time wards buy or sell something, every time
members give cash, commodities, or labor, every time the Church buys
land or builds a new meetinghouse, there are tax questions to be
answered,” Brother Child said.
“We
will work closely with the Church Legal Department and the Finance
Department to make certain that the Church complies fully and correctly
with the various tax laws that we are subject to,” he added.
Brother
Child is a certified public accountant and a specialist in tax law. A
former president of the British South Mission, he has also served as a
stake president, counselor in a stake presidency, member of a high
council, and president of an elders quorum.
