Paul L. "Larry" Wegkamp, 80, passed away in Logan, Aug. 15, 2012. He was born Sept. 20, 1931, in Marion, Ill. Raised in Manti, Utah, he was a gifted athlete, playing collegiate baseball, football, basketball, tennis, and track and field. He was named a Junior College All-American in two sports.
He graduated from the University of Utah, and later received a master's degree from the University of Massachusetts. He enjoyed a varied career in mining engineering, atomic weapons testing, and eventually as a professor of landscape architecture and environmental planning at Utah State University.
He married Mary Joann Braithwaite (deceased) in the Manti LDS Temple, and together they raised three sons, Paul (Debra) of Heathsville, Va., Karl (Karen) of St. George, Utah, and Dale (Lisa) of Nibley, Utah.
In 1992, he married Linda Ann Vida in the Logan LDS Temple, who also preceded him in death. Together they served as special needs missionaries at the LDS Institute of Religion at USU.
He was a loving husband, father and grandfather who, never one for fanfare, quietly went about doing much good in the world. He is survived by his three sons, nine grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren.
Funeral services will be held at noon, Tuesday, Aug. 21, at the Logan 1st Ward chapel, 89 S. 200 West in Logan, Utah, with a viewing prior to the service from 10 to 11:45 a.m. Interment will be in the Logan City Cemetery. Funeral arrangements are under the direction of Allen-Hall Mortuary.
In lieu of flowers, in honor of Larry's love for neglected animals, please send contributions to the Cache Humane Society or Four Paws Rescue of Utah.
