In June of 1952, "Wop" and his son Denny left on a driving holiday from
Calgary to Great Falls (Montana), Yellowstone & Grand Teton National Parks in
Wyoming, Salt Lake City and Timpanagos Cave National Monument in Utah.

As Denny tells it.....

" On June 21st, we headed to Provo, and to the parking lot for Timpanagos Cave,
and started up the steep trail. About half way up my Dad said "I can't go any
further, you go on ahead and see the caves and I'll head back to the car".
I started up the trail and he called me back saying "take my picture to show people
I got this far".

"I headed on up the trail, and on coming out of the caves, found my Dad lying dead.
He had suffered a stroke, but he made it all the way to the top........"
