Dennis Eugene Agle, 1/16/1933-11/7/2013

Dennis Eugene Agle, 80, passed away peacefully at his home in San Juan Capistrano, California, on Nov. 7, 2013.

Born on Jan. 16, 1933 in Sacramento, California, to Magne Agle and Leone Christenson, he lost his father in 1937 to tuberculosis. His mother was remarried in 1939 to Axel Anderson.

Dennis served four years in the U.S. Navy. While he was assigned to a naval air base in Phoenix, Arizona, he met the love of his life, Carol Jane Price, at a church dance. They were married on Aug. 8, 1953.

Dennis earned his bachelor's degree from Arizona State University and his master's degree from the University of Hawaii. He spent the majority of his career as an administrator for four universities: Church College of Hawaii (now Brigham Young University-Hawaii) in Laie, Hawaii; Southern Utah State College (now Southern Utah University) in Cedar City, Utah; Westminster College in Salt Lake City, Utah; and United States International University in England and in San Diego, California.

Dennis was deeply devoted to his family and to his faith. He served in many different callings in his church, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, including bishop twice.

He is survived by his wife, Jane, and their seven children: January Sanders (Robert) of Fairfield, California; Carol Germaine (Quinton) of Duncan, Arizona; Dennis Agle Jr. (Suzanne) of Springville, Utah; Ruth Agle of Rolfe, Iowa; Kenneth Agle (Coppelia) of Mapleton, Utah; Julie Lancaster (Scott) of Rolfe, Iowa, and Erik Agle (Kristin) of Murrieta, California. He is also survived by his sisters, Barbara Rummler (Steve) of St. George, Utah; and Tina Hermansen (David) of Chandler, Arizona. In addition, he is survived by 19 grandchildren, 9 great-grandchildren, and many loving cousins, nieces and nephews.

There will be two services for family and friends. One will be at 10 a.m. on Saturday, Nov. 16, 2013, at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 470 Camino San Clemente, San Clemente, California. The second will be at 11 a.m. on Friday, Nov. 29, 2013 at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 31 West Maple Street, Mapleton, Utah.

A FEW PICTURES OF THE PAPA

Here's a few pictures of events in Dad's life.

Happy birthday to Jane . . . by having a little fall in the bathroom. I couldn't get him up, so I made him comfy as you can see. A rug underneath, a pillow and a blankie. Two young men came and quick as a wink, he was upright, and put back into bed.

 He looks pretty comfortable, yes?

 This is the nurse who came to check on him and make sure everything is okay.

 He he lies, in the lap of luxury.

 Erik came the next day to take the TV from the living room and move it into our bedroom.

 Likity split he was done in no time at all.

 Dennis checking to make sure all is okay!

 A big hug before Erik goes home.

 Dad being pampered by Leo who comes and gives him a bath twice a week.

He's in one chair or another working on his laptop when he isn't helping out in many other ways.

HALLOWEEN 2013

FREAKY FRIDAY
I made it just in time!

Coppelia writes: The church had its annual Halloween carnival last night. All the older kids run booths with games and entertainments for the younger ones. Ken was fantastic at the cake walk. Steven and his friend Sarah are good at art so they worked the face painting booth. Nathan got a new look from his brother. I loved it.

January and Bob went to a friend's annual pumpkin display. 

 The little Sanders girls were quite the trio.

 Ryan went as Superman and check out the time when he was younger doing the same gig.

 Here's a hint! T & L

 A bloody bananna! (Nate)

 She looks similar to Nathan Agle.

 Apparently Lindsey had many events to attend.

 Pumpkin carving time.

And from Arizona, Rhiannon writes:

We had a ward party on Wednesday then Halloween on Thursday so everyone got to be two different things. Archy really wanted to be a zombie football player I don't know where he got that idea but he was happy to wear McCoy's football jersey. McCoy was a Mohawked vampire, he has been sporting a Mohawk for a couple weeks now. 

 Eddy dressed up for school as a zombie teacher. I bought a kit at Walmart to do the makeup and it even had latex that you put on and peeled off. It was a little scary for some kids to see, but his third graders handled it.

 Archy wanted to be ironman but I really wanted him to be a gnome so he thought he was putting on a ironman costume when he realized he wasn't he was not happy 

Unhappy camper :-(

  On Halloween night we ate pumpkin chili with Fritos and then went trick or treating in our neighborhood. Quinton-grim reaper, Declan-red phantom from Avatar, McCoy-pirate, Archer-garden gnome, Zaynzley-flower. We walked so the kids can go as long as they like but not every house gives out candy so it makes for a bit of a hike. Eddy and the two younger kids quit after an hour but Declan and McCoy wanted to keep going so Ashlee and I went with them (she had her gps so found out we walked three miles). Quinton went with us for an hour then he went with his friends. When we were done we had a fire in the backyard and gorged ourselves on candy while watching an outdoor Halloween movie. Since we stayed up so late and it was Friday the kids stayed home from school poor Declan got a stomach bug. 

And back in Springville . . .
