We loved him for his gentleness, and often saw him (ear-uon occasion, Although we sometimes teased him gently for Al- though it is fitting to honor him for his service, the greatest number of us who knew and admired him did so because of his service and achievements in other facets of his life. The largest number, perhaps, knew him as a Professor at BYU, where he influenced and prepared countless engineers to work successfully in industry and academia. Following employment with DuPont in Delaware and South Carolina, he began teaching Chemical Lngineering at Brigham Young University in 1959. At BYU, he served lor nine years as the head of the Department of Chemical Lngineering and was later appointed an associate dean of the College of Engineering and Technology. He taught not only in Utah, but in places as far flung as India and Korea. His professional career also included distinguished service in the American Institute of Chemical Lngineering. the American Society of Lngineering Education, member of the Lngineering Accreditation Committee for ABET, the committee for the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying, the Utah Board of Registration and the Utah Board of Environmental Quality. A smaller number knew him and benefited from his service in the LDS Church - as a missionary in the New England States, home teacherbishop, high councilor, and priest advisor, to name a few. He particularly enjoyed working with young men of scouting age. Himself an Eagle Scout, he worked hard to see young men earn that award. His we saw the depth of his love for us as we watched his emotions surfac e. No matter what facet of Dee s hie we knew him through, we can see that we have indeed lost a great man.
