Everett R Booth, 85 passed away peacefully on Wednesday, January 4, 2012 surrounded by his family at his home in Orem, Utah. He died from complications of pulmonary fibrosis. He was born September 4, 1926 in Sarona, Wisconsin to Corris Booth and Ethel May Josephine Langfitt. Dad grew up on a farm where he and his brothers built all sorts of tractors and contraptions. He later worked as a mechanic for a local car dealership. He was drafted into the army while still in high school and served in the Pacific theatre of World War II.

His conversion to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints occurred at the same time Doris Walker was serving a mission to the Northern States Mission. The rest, as they say, is history. They were married on June 9, 1953 in the Salt Lake temple.

Dad and Mom moved to Utah where he fell in love with the mountains. He started Booth's Sinclair and later partnered in this business with his brothers Louis and Bill. They provided great service at a fair price to a large and loyal base of customers in north Orem. The oil crisis in the early seventies changed the face of this industry and dad finished his work career as a shop foreman in the auto repair shop at BYU.

Dad loved the Lord and served faithfully in several church callings including service as a Bishop. He and mom served a mission to the Sacramento, California mission.

Dad played the guitar with his brothers during his teen years but as father to nine plus children, his opportunities to play were relegated to camp fire sing alongs. On retirement, his passion for playing was renewed and he worked hard to develop his skills. He brought tremendous joy to himself and many others playing with the Old Time Fiddlers and many other friends and fellow musicians wintering in Yuma, Arizona. Dad's passion and love of music has been passed on to many of his grandchildren.

Dad and mom are parents to nine children and for many years also welcomed other foster children into their home. Dad is survived by his wife Doris, brother Bill, eight children, sons Kevin (Joyce), Craig (Janet), Scott (Kimberly), David , Todd (Daneen),and daughters Cathy (Dan) Harker , Kimberly (Craig) Moe, Angela (Heber) Hoil, forty one grandchildren, and twenty one great grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his son Barry, his parents, seven brothers, and a sister.

Funeral services will be held at 11:00 a.m. Saturday, January 14, 2012 at the Timpanogas Park 1st Ward, 1000 North Main in Orem. Friends may call Friday evening January 13 from 6:00 p.m to 8:00 p.m. at Walker Sanderson Funeral Home, 646 East 800 North, Orem and at the church Saturday morning from 9:30-10:30 a.m. prior to the services.

Condolences may be sent to the family at www.walkersanderson.

The family suggests a donation to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints Perpetual Education fund in lieu of flowers. The beauty of flowers is certainly appreciated but the donation will bring a long term remembrance, blessing the lives of many.

Interment will be at the Orem City Cemetery.
