Funeral of David Dyches




Uncle Dave died suddenly on the 14th of April, 2008. He had been living in an assisted living home in Midvale, Utah for the past year and seemed to be doing just fine. But he deeply missed his beloved "Peg" and had lived a wonderful 86 years. We certainly will miss his wit, his kindness, his love and devotion to his immediate and extended family. Judy absorbed the major responsibility of overseeing his daily care and welfare and did such a wonderful job. Today, the 23rd of April, we attended the funeral service held in his old ward, the Richfield 7th Ward, and his internment was next to "Peg" in the Monroe Cemetery. We wish you could have heard the wonderful tributes by his two children, Judy and Mark, and grandchildren Marcee and John. They were all wonderful and highlighted what a character Uncle Dave was! But the highlight of the program was listening to Mark play a musical tribute to his father. Mark is such a gifted pianist and he played a melody of hymns and Hawaiian music that was just spectacular and evoked such emotion. When Mark plays he never disappoints. It was wonderful to visit with the many family members that came from far and near to attend and it was a fitting tribute to this good man.
