Edward Franklin Pfost POP, 84, went fishing on Monday, January 10, 2011 at the George E. Wahlen Veteran's Nursing Home in North Ogden, Utah. He resided at 1473 West Shelley Avenue (2817 South) in the Redwood area of West Valley City, Utah at the time of his death.

Born February 16, 1926 in Scott, Ohio to Laurence Neil Pfost and Edna Lou (Mohr) Pfost.

Pop was a fisherman, master woodworker, stagehand, projectionist, and a KCC worker (in that order) for many, many years. Pop enjoyed riding snowmobiles to his cabin and fishing from his boat at Strawberry Reservoir.

Retired from the KCC Refinery thirty-five years. Member of the Motion Picture Projectionists Union, International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees Union Local 99, and the United Steelworkers.

Pop's love of his life, Ivy, passed on before him in 1997. It was a marriage that many said would never work out because Dad was twenty years old at the time and mom was thirty-three with five children from a previous marriage. Yes, it was rocky at times but they celebrated more than fifty years together.

Family survivors are siblings Layton, (Alice) Pfost, Linda, and (Milt) Brown, step-children Melvin, (Norma) Shoell, Mary, (Dave) Baierline, Dan (Jill Johnson) Shoell, and Mike (DeAnn) Shoell, and three daughters from Mom and Ed's union: Rheta (Mike) Johnson, Bend, Oregon, Lee (Chuck) Young, West Valley City, UT, and Eddie (Barry) Martak, West Valley City, UT. Thank you Charleen Luke for many years of companionship to Pop. Ed was preceded in death by our mom Ivy (Snyder, Shoell) Pfost, daughter and son-in-law Roberta & Herman Zeller, grandson Bill Zeller, granddaughter Marsha Zeller, daughter Iris, and infant son Neil Pfost.

Please join the Pfost family in celebration of Ed's life at Redwood Memorial Estates, 6500 South Redwood Road (1700 West), Taylorsville, UT, Friday, January 14, 2011 where a viewing will held from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. Pop's funeral will be held at the above address on Saturday at 11:00 a.m., where friends my visit the family one hour prior.
