Dad always made sure that we knew he loved us. He was the best dad in the whole world. Scott had a great sense of humor and always had a joke for everyone he met. He had a great respect for people in general but especially for women. His work ethic was very strong and he had a great love for the Savior! Dad had a very unselfish heart and would do anything for anyone. He was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, serving faithfully in many callings. He worked many years for Ford & Gregory Construction where he was a heavy equipment operator. He loved his job and was very good at it. He also worked for Smithfield City, Parson's Construction, and he finished his career with UDOT where he worked laying asphalt and plowing snow in Logan and Sardine Canyons. He was also a trainer for the UDOT Licensing Division. He always loved spending time with Bonnie and his family and was happy that he was able to do more of it after he retired. He loved making things with his hands and he was very handy and clever and could fix anything.
Scott is survived by his wife Bonnie; three daughters and one son: Janet (Scott) Ashcroft, Lora (Guy) Perkins, Everett "Tarz" (Karen) Anderson, and Leata (Gary) Jensen, all of Smithfield; 16 grandchildren and 10 great grandchildren; two brothers: Reid (Pauline) Anderson and Don (Phyllis) Anderson, both of Logan. He was preceded in death by his parents, one sister, Melba Mortensen, his son-in-law, Scott Ashcroft and two granddaughters: Michelle Ashcroft and Jennifer Ashcroft Jensen. Funeral services will be held at 11:00 a.m. Monday December 28, 2009 at the Smithfield 14th Ward Chapel, 451 South 250 East, Smithfield, with Bishop Robert Gunnell conducting.
