Our beloved husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, exemplar, and friend returned to his Heavenly Father at University of Utah Medical Center in Salt Lake City, Utah on August 13, 2010 following a long illness. He died peacefully knowing the love of his family and friends. He resided at 1579 East Vineyard Drive (200 South) in Bountiful, Utah at the time of his death.
Hop was born August 19, 1925 in Salt Lake City, Utah to Mary Alice Shearsmith and Peter Horace Ensign and grew up in Magna and Garfield, Utah. He graduated from Cyprus High School, where he played football. He served his country as an Army Staff Sergeant in the 138th Engineer Combat Company.
He married Mary Emogene Raulston on June 16, 1946. Their marriage was later solemnized in the Salt Lake Temple. They had four children: Mary Ann (Stan) Gilchrist, Silverdale, WA; Kathryn Joan (Norm) Wright, Vacaville, CA; Patrice Kay (Kent) Merkley, Vernal, UT; and Michael D. Ensign, Salt Lake City, UT.
Hop was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints who spent his life in service to his friends and family holding a variety of callings from Bishop and counselor in the Stake Presidency to Cub Scout leader and ordinance worker in the Salt Lake and Bountiful Temples. He loved to work with wood and to teach boys how to do so. He also loved reading and spending time at his Wyoming cabin.
He looked for ways to be of service when ever and wherever he could. He was a kind, thoughtful, and generous man with his family and friends whose quick wit, positive attitude, testimony, patriotism, and friendship will be missed.
Hop graduated from the University of Utah with a degree in civil engineering and spent his very successful career working for Kennecott Copper, retiring as the Vice President and General Manager of Refining.
Preceded in death by his wife, Emogene and his parents, he is survived by his sister Joan (Austin) Larsen, a cousin, Naomi (Sam) Taylor, his four children and their spouses, ten grandchildren, and twenty-five great-grandchildren.
Friends and neighbors are invited to attend a visitation from 6:00-8:30 p.m. on Thursday, August 19, 2010 in the Relief Society Room of the Bountiful Fiftieth Ward Chapel, 33 South Moss Hill Drive (1500 East), Bountiful, UT.
