Loye E. Martindale
Loye Everett Martindale (1920-2009)
LOGAN, Utah -
Loye Everett Martindale passed away June 1, 2009, in Logan Utah, from T.M.B. (Too Many Birthdays). Loye was born June 23, 1920, at his home in Marysville, Idaho, to Edwin James and Edith Lourena Martindale. He was the fifth of eight children, three girls and five boys. Loye was the last remaining survivor in his family. Loye had a great childhood. His close family worked, played and sang together. Loye had a love of music. He learned the value of work on the farm from his father. He was taught as a boy that if you made a commitment to do something that you would do it 110 percent and he did. Loye moved to Los Angeles where he worked for Alcoa building pistons and flat irons for the World War II effort. Loye joined the Navy and witnessed the signing of the end of the war with Japan from his ship. Loye attended and graduated from USU in 1951 with a degree in secondary education specializing in political science. He was a true Aggie. He worked for Cache Valley Builders Supply for 36 years. Loye married his college sweetheart Dora Mae Taylor on Aug. 1, 1947, in the Logan LDS Temple. They had six children: four daughters and two sons. Dora Mae passed away Jan. 24, 1980, at the age of 51 so Loye has been alone a long time. He had a great love for both sides of his extended family. Loye became one of the first four city council members for Logan city. He served four terms, 16 years from 1976 to 1992. Loye loved politics. Loye and Dora Mae taught their children the value of hard work. The family worked together cleaning and maintaining rental properties and having a big garden every year. Loye was a faithful member of the LDS Church. He served in the bishopric for six years and then became the bishop of the Logan 6th Ward from 1968 to 1974. He loved the members (friends) of his ward and his heart has always belonged on the west side of town near Willow Park. He also served as the regional athletic director for the church for five years. Loye loved sports of all kinds, especially softball and basketball, and played for many years. He also coached many teams. Watching sports and reading the newspaper from cover to cover were his favorite pastimes. Loye has lived a life of service. He received the Governor's Silver Bowl award for volunteerism. He spent every Thursday dancing with the residents at the Sunshine Terrace for 23 years. He served as Chairman of the Head Start Board committee and on the board for United Way and Bear River Association of Governments and contributed much time and effort serving all aspects of his community. Loye was a happy, energetic and loving person. He loved life! With declining health, the past few years have been difficult. We would like to thank Dr. Steven Salisbury and staff, Julie and the staff at CNS hospice, the staff of Williamsburg Retirement Community and the Sunshine Terrace for their love, concern and comfort. Loye is survived by his six children and their spouses, Alton and Trenna Bird, Wellsville, Utah; Lynn and Jeanne Archibald, Wellsville, Utah; Merrill and Barbara Martindale, Scottsdale, Ariz.; Jill Allsop, Bountiful, Utah; Carl and Lannis Sorensen, North Logan, Utah; and Jared and Mandee Martindale, Logan, Utah. He is also survived by friend Joyce Dutson of Minnesota. He is survived by 30 grandchildren and 34 great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by Dora Mae (wife), Greg Allsop (son-in-law), Edwin and Edith Lourena Martindale (parents), Oren, Verold, Clendon, Ted (brothers), Reva, Vanorda and Alta (sisters). Dad you have truly left us a Legacy of Love. Funeral services will be held Friday, June 5, at noon at the Logan 32nd Ward chapel. 340 West 700 South Logan, Utah.

Maizee on the Move
Maizee started to "crawl" a couple weeks ago. She is so funny to watch. She reminds me of a frog the way she swims along with her arms and pushes herself with her little legs. There isn't anywhere she can't get now. She just recently added the tug boat noise to go along with it.
A Whopper of an Owie
Well, Dodee isn't our most coordinated one! She was running from the bathroom to the living room to bring me a Q-tip and tripped and fell. She smashed her forehead into the corner of the wall. She hit so hard she broke the plaster and dented the metal corner cover. I have always told her she was hard headed but this is ridiculous. She seems to be fine and should be running around again any minute.
Jazz Game
Jared took the boys to the Jazz playoff game against the Lakers for game 3. They are huge Lakers fans. They got there really early and got to watch the players arrive and even got some autographs.
KJAZZ TV did a little interview with them and commented that everyone there was a Jazz fan, except Traeson. 
They got new Lakers jerseys to wear! But J.R. of course refused to part with the beloved Cavs one. 
They had so much fun. Their favorite part was that they could be as loud as they wanted. The Jazz ended up winning by 2 points with a buzzer beater. It was a great experience for them.

The Newest Recruit
Maizee got her hands on a knitting project. When I said "Looks like Maizee wants to be a knitter", Dodee replied, "No, she's gonna be a knotter." Dodee was right!

Dance Performance
Taylor and Dodee both had dance performances tonight. They both did great jobs. Here is some video of their dances. My phone freaked out in the middle of Taylors so there is just a little of hers. She also ended up on the opposite side so it's farther away, she is the far left. They are both getting to be great dancers! Great Job, Girls!!
