I met "Rhine" in 5th grade at Wasatch Elementary School. We both went to BY High from 7th-12th grades. We played basketball and football together and sang and played in a group called "The Coachmen." We had a lot of fun traveling and performing with our folk group and even spent the summer after graduation performing at the Playmill Theater in West Yellowstone 6 evenings a week. During the day, we worked at the Old Faithful Lodge and Hamilton Stores. After coming back from our missions, we performed with a group called "Peace & Quiet," at dances all over Utah and some surrounding states. Later in life, we took trips to visit Rhine and enjoy all the things to see and do in Seatle. We would sing, reminisce, and often laugh until it hurt!  

I loved Rhine like a brother! We shared so many fun, memorable experiences over 6 decades. Rhine was a genuine, loyal friend, and I feel very fortunate to have known him!
