Benjamin Eisenblatter Orson Rimmasch
DECEMBER 10, 1926 – NOVEMBER 28, 2019

Our beloved father, grandfather and great grandfather Benjamin Eisenblatter Orson Rimmasch passed away peacefully on November 28, 2019. He was 12 days short of his 93rd birthday.

Ben was born December 10, 1926 in Salt Lake City, Utah to Franz Rimmasch and Bertha Auguste Eisenblatter Rimmasch shortly after they emigrated to the U.S. from Germany.

He grew up in the Salt Lake valley and attended Granite High school where he played on the tennis team. After graduation, Ben served in the U.S. Army at the end of World War II. Following his service in the military, he was called on a mission to Germany. He was in the first group of foreign missionaries to serve in Germany after the war.

On his mission, he reconnected with another missionary named Gene Miller who was a friend from Granite. Gene had a picture of a beautiful young women and Ben asked if that was his girlfriend. Gene said no that's my sister Elaine. As soon as Ben came home, Elaine and Ben started dating. Ben was married to Elaine Miller in the Salt Lake City Temple on June 26, 1952. Ben and Elaine had five children: Kent, Kim, Heidi, Holly, and Kory. Elaine unexpectedly passed away in 1975.

Ben married Verda LaRae Barron Nordberg on March 4, 1976 and they had many happy years together. Verda passed away earlier this year.

Ben worked at the Kennecott research center for 30 year. He loved being with people and continued to work part time so that he could be around people. He was always striking up conversations with strangers in the grocery store line, the gas station or anywhere he could. Ben loved to serve those around him and served many with his talents. He did home additions and many major and minor home repairs for his family and for many others.

Ben was a faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and served in many positions over his lifetime.

Ben was preceded in death by his wife Elaine, his wife Verda, his parents, his siblings, and his daughter Heidi (Don Bryson).

He is survived by his children Kent, Kim (Marylou), Holly, and Kory (Kristy). He had many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great grandchildren.

A viewing for family and friends will be held at 9:30 on Thursday December 5, 2019 at the Willow Creek 9th Ward located at 2115 East Creek Road Sandy, UT 84093.

The family would like to thank Active Homecare, Legacy House, and Aspire Hospice for their loving care.
