Harold Don Park peacefully returned home at the Orem Beehive Care Center on Wednesday, June 9, 2010 to his Heavenly Father, and to join his beloved wife of sixty-four years, Barbara. He resided at 274 East 400 South in Orem, Utah at the time of his death.
Don humbly fulfilled his role as a husband, a father, a grandfather, great-grandfather, and great-great grandfather, and also as a provider, for 100 years.
Born January 8, 1910, Don had built his family, his business, his garden, and his highly regarded character, with patience and diligence. With few words ever spoken, those that were, were filled with stories of fishing, of hunting, and his favorite topic, stories of when his father was a member of the Provo Fire Department.
In 1942, Harold graduated from Central Utah Tech, known today as Utah Valley University, with an Associates Degree in Heating and Sheet Metal. Two weeks later, he was drafted into the military.
He then married Barbara on February 22, 1946 in Provo, Utah, and later sealed with their family in the Manti Temple on June 27, 1964. They were active and faithful members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
After serving as an officer in WWII at Fort Douglas with his wife, Don established the business Modem Heating and Sheet Metal, which has been continued by his three sons and several grandsons. Don and Barbara continued their later years courting by traveling to several different states, as well as countries. They also enjoyed outings with the Squaw Peak Good Sam Club. With a big heart, and strong hands, Don continued to work in his garden well into the later years of his life. His solid handshake, his gentle hugs, and his quiet demeanor, will genuinely be missed, but never forgotten.
His century of memories will continue to live through his family. Don is survived by his six children: Susan (Dave) Allen, Joan (John) Healy, Joseph (Nancy) Park, Brian (Jana) Park, Christine (Richard) Marshall, Drue (Shauna) Park, twenty-four grandchildren, thirty-one great-grandchildren, and one great-great-grandchild. Don was preceded in death by his parents, his siblings, and many friends.
Funeral Services will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Monday, June 14, 2010 in the Sharon Second Ward Chapel, 641 South 400 East, Orem. Family and friends may call from 9:45-10:45 a.m. prior to the services at the Church.
Interment will be held in the Orem City Cemetery.
