Jack Arnold Gammon
1930 - 2005
Early Life: Jack was born April 30, 1930, in Richfield, Utah, the first of four children to Franklin Gammon and Velda Breinholt Gammon Roper. He finished his education in Provo City Schools, graduating from Utah Technical College in Provo.
Life's Work/Service/Interests: After moving to Provo, Jack met and eventually married his eternal sweetheart, Coralie Scott on January 17, 1951, in Provo, Utah. Their marriage was later solemnized in the Salt Lake LDS Temple. He also had the opportunity to valiantly serve our country in the United States Navy. He was a gifted machinist and he worked at his chosen vocation at US Steel Geneva Works in Orem. Jack taught each of his eight daughters to have a love and appreciation of our beautiful God-given world through his love of camping, fishing, hunting and golf. One of his greatest joys and comforts for the past several years has been in being able to join with his "golfing buddies" of the "Over the Hill Gang" in a lovely, sunshiny game of golf. He has loved those men and so much appreciated their association and friendship. Jack was a talented, self-taught guitarist and a beautiful bass vocalist. Here again, he instilled within each of his daughters' hearts, a love of music and of singing together. He has been an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, having served selflessly in several of the Provo Sunset Wards. Jack has been heard on numerous occasions to say how blessed he was not only to have eight daughters but, also eight wonderful sons-in-law. He has always been an exceptional loving father and the unifying life force of our family. Sweet and loving father, grandfather, brother, husband and friend, Jack Arnold Gammon, of Provo, Utah, returned home to his Heavenly Father on Tuesday, March 15, 2005. He was 74 years of age.
Family Message: "His valiant and loving spirit and his contagious smile will be greatly missed by all who have had the opportunity to know him."
