Orson Paul Gygi was born September 15, 1930 in Bingham Canyon, Utah to Orson Henry Gygi and Zina Vance Gygi. He passed away on March 21, 2012 at his home.
Paul served four years in the U.S. Navy during the Korean War. He married Ilene Dial on November 10, 1955 in the Salt Lake Temple.
Paul was an active lifetime member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and held many positions, especially with the youth and Ward and Stake activities.
Paul worked as a salesman with his father and three brothers in the Orson H. Gygi Co. for thirty years. Then he opened GSI Restaurant Supply in Orem which he owned and operated for twelve years before retiring in 1998. He was a very successful salesman and became friends with all of his customers.
He had a hobby of buying wrecked automobiles and worked with his son to restore them to sell. He was a very ambitious man and worked hard all his life until health problems restricted his activities.
He is survived by his wife, Ilene; daughter, Korene Bird; son, Gary (Sue); eleven grandchildren, five great-grandchildren, two sisters, Marjeanne (Ross) McDonald, Lola Timmins; and one brother, Perry (Ann). He was preceded in death by an infant son, Michael Paul; daughter, Cheryl Winters; and two brothers, Wayne and Wally.
The family would like to thank all those who helped mom so she could care for him at home these last twelve years.
