Grandpa Fuddy

I am playing catch up,


Dan Doxey Frampton "Fudd" 1931 ~ 2011

Our dear husband, father, grandfather, brother and friend passed on quietly at home on August 13, 2011. His sweetheart wife was at his side as she has been for 65 years since they were 15 year olds 'going steady'. He will be sorely missed but his legacy of kindness, hard work, humor and testimony will live on in his posterity, whose lives will continue to be blessed by this good man.

Dan did not have an unkind word for anyone and leading by example, he often counseled us to simply love those with whom we had disagreement. He served his country honorably in the Air National Guard during the Korean conflict. He was a life-long member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and wore out his life in the service of God. He helped to build the kingdom wherever he was called - sharing the gifts of truth and love which he possessed so abundantly. He served in many positions of trust and leadership and especially loved the time spent on missions with Berylene.

Dan was born in Salt Lake City on April 11, 1931 to William Vere Frampton and Helen Pearl Doxey. He lived in Holladay his entire life where he served on numerous committees and councils helping to keep Holladay a wonderful place to live. He married the girl of his dreams, Berylene Coshow, on May 28, 1951 and together they have eight children: Cozette (Barney) Carlson, Sam (Meridee) Frampton, Becky (Grey) Airhart, Jane (Dick) Goulding, Bruno (Shauna) Frampton, Sylvia (Lindsay) Thomas, Jason (Shelley) Frampton and Heidi (David) Lawrence.

Preceded in death by parents, step-mother Delight Thomas, siblings Will Frampton and Janice Burnham, one granddaughter and one great-grandson. He is survived by his wife, their children, 34 grandchildren, 36 great-grandchildren and sister Mary Schofield. Viewings will be on Friday, August 19, 6-8 p.m. and Saturday, August 20, 9-10:30 a.m. Funeral Saturday at 11 a.m. All will be held at the Holladay South Stake Center, 4917 Viewmont Street.

My mom is a sibling of 8, so the oldest grandson in each family was a paul bearer.

 My Grandma Ber and her 8 children (with a much younger stand-in for my mom who is serving a mission in North Carolina). I got to be the lucky one of my siblings and read my mom's talk at the funeral, and be her stand in for pictures. 

 Grandma caught a ride back to the church on the bishops scooter!

Grandma made all of these delicious cookies for the after party at her house. This date was already planned to be our family reunion. I think grandpa was trying to have us all show up this time! Almost all of the 118 family members were there.

We ended the day by sharing stories about Grandpa Fuddy. I am so grateful to be a part of such a amazing family.
