Lawrence Emil Huber passed away quietly and at peace in his home.
Father, Grandfather, Great Grandfather, his was a life led by example; strong in times of pain, patient in moments of struggle, benevolent, respectful, steadfast, faithful and eternally kind. For 92 years every room he entered was illuminated by his quick smile, crafty sense of humor and the glint of mischief that twinkled in his eyes right to the end.
He was born in Salt Lake City, July 8, 1914 to Emil Huber and Mary Ellis Barnes. A graduate of West High School, Larry went on to serve a LDS Swiss-German Mission in 1933. There he worked diligently in the service of the Lord, spreading the Gospel and working tirelessly to offer comfort in a country on the brink of war. It was there he learned to speak German, which he spoke fluently for the rest of his life. In 1937, while teaching seminary at West High School, he met the gem who was to become the treasure of his life, Jeanne Whipple. They were married in the Salt Lake Temple on September 21, 1938. They made their home in Salt Lake City and filled their house with love, happiness and five children. During those years, he served as a counselor in the Bishopric and the Stake Presidency along with many other church callings.
Lawrence loved to fish, hunt, play handball, bowl, and he relished golf. For 43 years he worked at Beneficial Life where he was famous for his diligence, integrity, hard work, genuine friendliness, but most of all, his infectious smile. He was devastated when his beloved Jeanne passed from this life in 1967 after a lingering illness. But, on November 28, 1972 a new chapter in his life began as he married Marguerite Webb Cundick. While most are lucky to stumble upon love once in a lifetime, Larry found true love twice. They made the perfect couple, traveling the world, serving a mission at the Laie Hawaii Temple, playing bridge with friends, golfing and igniting everywhere they went with their laughter. Together they shared the adulation of their children, grandchildren and scores of great-grandchildren. True companions, they were inseparable until a short month ago when Marguerite preceded him in death. Lawrence Emil Huber was sincerely loved and adored by all those who had the privilege to know him. Preceded in death by his eldest daughter Carolynne Godfrey (Frank) and his grandson Tyler Goodfellow (Valerie). He will be deeply missed by his family, Ron and Marlene Huber, Sherry and Tom Johnson, Jeanine and Bill Mulhair, Rosalee and Wayne Gale, seven grandchildren, 15 great-grandchildren and dozens of step-grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
At his request a graveside service was held Saturday, January 20, 2007 at 1:00 p.m. in the Bountiful City Cemetery.
