Funeral services will be Saturday for Adrian Herbert Pembroke, civic leader and widely recognized innovator in the office-design field. He died Tuesday at a Salt Lake City hospital.
Mr. Pembroke, 86, was a founder of the Executive Furniture Guild that established the concept of filling business offices with more than just desks, chairs and files. He did this while president of Pembroke's, an exclusive Salt Lake City office supply store that also dealt in art supplies.

Aside from his business success, Mr. Pembroke was chairman of the Salt Lake City Metropolitan Water Board; was president of the Salt Lake Exchange Club; served two presidencies of the Salt Lake Rotary Club; and was a member of the Fort Douglas Country Club, the Salt Lake Country Club and the Alta Club. He was also a founder of the Bleacher Utes, was active in promoting small business and was a benefactor of the University of Utah College of Business.
He was born Aug. 22, 1904, in Salt Lake City to Afton Kimball and Adrian B. Pembroke. He married Camille Stohl in February 1930 in the Salt Lake LDS Temple. He graduated from East High School and the U. of U. School of Business and did graduate studies at Northwestern University. He was captain of the U. of U. track team and was quarterback on the Ute football team.
He is survived by his widow and son, Robert S., both Salt Lake City; four grandchildren; two great-grandchildren; and a brother, Jack.
