Rich High Football with Water Canyon (Hildale)

 Friday night fun with Rich Rebels and My Local Radio. Hildale has a beautiful facility for sports. Water Canyon won their first game and then met up with the Rebels. The first quarter was played with a score of 24 for Rich until the last few minutes when the Bulldogs made a touch down. Pretty much the rest of  time was spent working hard and finessing their game. Rich Rebels went on to win 43 to 6.

ROBERT DOUGLAS SPENCE OBITUARY

 

Robert Douglas Spence passed away on Wednesday, August 31, 2022, surrounded by the women he loved most, his six daughters. He was born December 6, 1929, in Salt Lake City, Utah. His parents were Paul and Afton Spence of Garden City, Utah, where Doug was raised. He married his high school sweetheart, Merle Thomas, on Christmas Eve of 1948. Their marriage was later solemnized in the Logan temple.
Doug was an avid hunter in his younger years, and his favorite place to be was in the mountains surrounding the Bear Lake area. He worked for the Utah State Highway Department and pushed snow through Logan Canyon for thirty years, many times through terrible blizzards. He loved the outdoors, reading, watching sports, French fries and ice cream.
His greatest accomplishment in life was his family.
Doug is survived by his six daughters: JoAnn Andersen, Mickie (Craig) Layton, Barbara (Terry) Rich, Colleen (Thayne) Braegger, Vickey (Doug) Sink, Karen Spence; and many grandchildren, great-grandchildren and even great-great grandchildren; half-brother Jerry Glenn (Linda), and half-sister, Betty Cady. He was preceded in death by his parents, brother Paul Kay Spence, and wife, Merle Thomas Spence.
Funeral services will be held on Saturday, September 10 at noon, at the Church of Jesus-Christ of Latter-day Saints in Garden City. Friends may visit with family at the church from 11:00 a.m. to noon prior to services.
Funeral arrangements are under the direction of Allen-Hall Mortuary. Condolences and memories may be shared online at www.allenmortuaries.com.

Obituary-James (Jim) Kemp

 Harold James Kemp Jr., 87, passed away on August 16, 2022 in Salt Lake City, Utah. He was born July 4, 1935 to Harold James and Irene (Nalder) Kemp.

Jim attended East High School where during his senior year he met the love of his life, Linda (Hall) in the same music class. Jim was a force of nature with his capable ways and brilliant mind and attended the University of Utah on a football scholarship. After serving an LDS mission in England, he completed his education, receiving a bachelor’s degree in business with emphasis in management. Jim and Linda were married during their junior year of college and remained happily married for 62 years before Linda’s passing in 2019.

They moved their family to Logan in 1968 and started their own business, JK Business Machines. Jim and Linda sold the business in 1982 and Jim moved into the banking industry for the next six years. As an experienced business owner and manager, Jim also consulted and gave several seminars a year.

Jim was someone who filled his life to the brim with deep lifelong friendships, skiing, activities, travels and experiences. He was passionate about history and biography. Anyone who spent time with Jim knows how much he enjoyed being “on-stage”. He shared his talent with Valley Players and other community acting groups over the years.

In addition to his parents, he was predeceased by his sister, Jeanne, his wife, Linda (Hall) Kemp and son Christian James Kemp. Surviving are his children, Jennifer Carlson (Idaho Falls), Carolyn Spillane (Fullerton, CA), Tori Raphael (SLC, UT), and Daniel Arthur Kemp (Midway, UT), as well as spouses, grandchildren, great grandchildren and extended family members that will miss him dearly.

A viewing was held Friday Aug. 26th from 6:00-8:00 at Allen-Hall Mortuary, 34 East Center Street, Logan, Utah.

Rich High Football vs Gunnison Fri. Aug. 26th

On Friday, the Rich High Rebel football team played their first eight man football home game since 1970 against the Gunnison Bulldogs, a 2A school.   The Rich Rebels scored early and led the game going into half time.  The Gunnison Bulldogs were able to come back in the second half  tying the game with less than two minutes to play.  The game went into sudden death overtime where the Bulldogs were able to score first and ended up winning in an exciting, though disappointing game for the Rich Rebels.  The final score was 33 to 27. 

You can watch the games on 98.3 My Local Radio Station from Evanston, Wyo. on Youtube at: https://www.youtube.com/user/kadqradio

Thank you to all of the sponsors that support the Rich teams.
