In Memory

Paul Pendrey - Class of 1964

Paul Richard Pendrey age 69, passed away December 9, 2015 at his home in Sandy, UT due to kidney failure. He was born March 2, 1946 in Logan, Utah.
 
Paul was a kind, loving husband, father and grandpa. He was a computer systems analyst for the Questar Corporation in Salt Lake City for many years. He took early retirement from them in 1999. He said it was a deal he couldn’t refuse. During his retirement he spent time doing genealogy, working at the temple, and keeping the house and vehicles in good repair. He was active in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints all his life, serving in many positions. He is remembered in the family for his ‘dad jokes’, which always elicited groans! He was very knowledgeable about a variety of things, and was always willing to share that knowledge. He was more of an introvert and was most comfortable around his family. We miss him so much. 
He is survived by his wife Linda, children Richard (Kristy), Jennifer (Blake), Wendy (Robert), Stephen (Melanie), Andrew (Kelli), and Daniel (Katherine), and his 18 grandchildren. Paul was preceded in death by his parents Bernice and Lowell and his brother McKay.

Paul and his parents lived just through the block from us and were  great neighbors.  We went to the same ward (5th) there in Montpelier.  We young men affectionately referred to him as Paulsy.  One of our young men leaders told us it sounded more like a disease then a name.  Paul was always fun to be with, because he had a great sense of humor.

Paul and I attended Lincoln Elementary grades 1 thru 6.  Just like his father Paul was brilliant in science.  Of all subjects Paul struggled with spelling.  I remember how frustrated he became with this challenge especially since his mother was a school teacher.  He overcame this obstacle with persistent hard work and dedication.  I related to him years later how much I admired him for his persistence and dedication in learning to spell.  When Paul dedicated himself to a task he never gave up until he succeeded.  Until we meet again may you enjoy the love and comfort in the arms of your loved ones who were awaiting your arrival on the other side of the veil.

 I had the opportunity of going to school with Paul the sixth through the 12th grades. He always seemed calm and full of interesting ideas.  I looked at him as one of the brains of the class.  In the last few years when his health was bad I had  the opportunity to have several conversations with him on the phone. I learned things about him and his education and life's experiences that I had never known before. It was a joy to get to know him better. Just last week I talked with his wife, Linda, and learned that he was not able to talk on the phone anymore.  He was certainly prepared for this time to move on to new and  spiritual things.  We mourn Paul's passing from this life, but cheer him on in his great endeavors ahead.  Kristin Williams

Paul and I were good friends all through school years, lived fairly close, and spent much of our time doing all the crazy stuff kids did in the late fiftys and sixties, My heart aches for the loss of Paul, and My most sincere sympathy to his family.  See you on the other side old friend...........

 Paul and I grew up together loving the same kind of mechanical and electrical things. I used to love to go up to their workshop in their home and see all the different projects he was working on. Paul had the kind of personality that could get along with nearly anybody and seemed to always be happy.  Paul was a very good friend and an inspiration to me and I will miss him deeply. Keep on going or friend next life is limitless!

Paul was one of my favorites in high school.  He always seemed to be in a good mood.  I remember playing tennis bedhind MHS with Paul and I remember the Hi-Fi system he built.  I haven't seen Paul in decades but still have very fond memories of him.

Paul and I became friends in 1963, shortly after our family moved to Montpelier.  We were roommates during our freshman year at BYU.  In my mind, I still hear his answer to my question:  "How now, black and secret midnight hag, what is it you do?", to which he always responded: "a DEED withOUT a NAME".  (Lewis Munk was a big influence on both of us.)  We had a pleasant hour's conversation about six months ago.  In spite of his declining health, he seemed to be in good spirits, with a calm assurance that death is not the end.  Farewell, Paul.  'Til we meet again.
