Sandy, UT—Thomas (Tom) Earl Dibble, 78, passed away peacefully in the arms of his wife, Rosemary, in Salt Lake City, Utah on Wed., April 13. Tom had bravely battled psoriatic arthritis for many years and cancer recently.
Tom's mother,Wanda June Dibble, gave birth to him three weeks early in Pocatello, Idaho. Baby Tom's dad, Tom Sr., was deployed overseas during World War II, and scooped baby Tommy up into his arms six months later.
As the oldest of five brothers, and the 2nd oldest of his four female cousins in Pocatello, Tom good-heartedly struggled to herd the pack of kids out of trouble (mostly). Tom was baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, at age eight, and he earned the highest scouting award of Eagle Scout (having survived 6 days in the wilderness without adults) and graduated from Pocatello High in 1961
After graduating from electronics school, Tom accepted an Electronics Installer job at Western Electric. The interviewer told him he was happy to hire a farm boy from Idaho, "as those boys are hard workers". Tom used his "hard work" ethic to rise through the corporate ranks and he soon managed the Utah, Wyoming and Montana territories. He eventually retired from the company (now AT&T) at the tender age of 52 (to everyone's envy!)
On Saturday, April 16, a viewing (10:00-10:45) and funeral (11:00 am to 12:00 pm) celebrating Tom's life will take place at the Good Shepherd Lutheran Church at 8575 S 700 E, Sandy. Pallbearers include Ed Dibble, Terry Dibble, B0b Dibble, Pat Dibble Jr, Brayden Smith, Max Johansen, Jake Johansen, and Tom Johansen, and honorary pallbearers include Tom Dibble Jr., and Josh Dibble.Please leave online messages and tributes to the family by visiting our website: Memorial Holladay-Cottonwood Mortuary https://memorialutah.com/obituaries/thomas-tom-earl-dibble/ To live stream the funeral service follow this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujj7IVIWIBQ
