He worked at Hill Field for a short time, was a Brakeman and then a Conductor on the Southern Pacific Railroad for 13 years. He owned and operated Mason’s Drive-in on Riverdale Road in Ogden, eventually he acquired Artic Circle Restaurants throughout the state from Roy to St. George. He successfully operated Warren’s Family Restaurant’s. He was in business for 41 years.
His work has been his hobby, he was a classic type ‘A’ workaholic.

He loved his family, they were his life, which he spent providing for and serving.

He loved the mornings and greeting each new day. He loved his music, he collected records when he was young and then tapes and CD’s. Music was playing wherever he was, at work, at home and in the cars.

He especially loved the trips to Italy where his paternal grandparents were born and lived. And then there was ‘SHOPPING!’, as only Keith could do it – whether for himself, or finding and presenting someone else with his gifts, which was his joy.
The past month has been especially fun for him for he had planned a trip for the fourteen of his family to fly to Disneyland and let the littlest grandchildren experience the fun for their first time and ride Thundermountain and Splash Mountain with the oldest. It was a grand time. He packed the week with excitement. The remainder of the month he has been doing all the fun things he has wanted to do, golf in the south with friends, tracking down the old fun haunts in the Los Angeles area and the new Getty Center, which he thought was awesome, and enjoying his favorites –Tommy’s Burgers.
He will be missed by all who knew him.

OGDEN - Marian Ure Pugmire was born March 15, 1909, to James William and Mabel McCune Ure in Ogden, Utah. She passed away at home on Friday, January 2, 2004, after a brief illness. Mother attended Madison Elementary School and Ogden High School where she served as Vice President as her brother Jim served as Student Body President. She was also Classicalia Queen and a sponsor of the ROTC Band, traveling with the band to St. Louis for the competition, a big occasion in her young life. She studied dance with Mrs. Reed for a number of years and performed widely during her childhood and adolescent years. She attended the University of Utah majoring in Latin and Spanish, and was a member of Chi Omega Sorority. On December 17, 1929, she was married to Ralph W. Pugmire, a childhood friend, in the Salt Lake LDS Temple by David O. McKay. They lived in Salt Lake before moving to Portland, Oregon, where Dad studied medicine at the University of Oregon. They also spent a year in Philadelphia where Dad specialized in Opthamology at the University of Pennsylvania. They returned to Ogden in 1941 and Dad began practicing medicine with his father. In 1942, they moved into the home they built, where Mother continued to live until her death. After Dad's retirement in 1972, they split their time between a home in Palm Springs, California, and their Ogden home. They loved to play golf and bridge, and had a wide circle of friends in Ogden, Salt Lake, and Palm Springs. After mother's lack of eyesight no longer allowed her to play golf, she continued to enjoy golf on television, watching her hero Tiger Wood who had replaced her favorite, Jack Nicholas. She had been a lifelong reader, and the wonderful services of the Library for the Blind enriched her life and kept her current, as she reread old favorites and found new ones. Mother was a member of The Ladies Literary Club, Junior League of Ogden, the Weber County Medical Auxiliary, and the Ogden Golf and Country Club. Mother has been a wonderful model for her progeny, and continued to be interested in the lives of grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She taught us the joy of seeing the best in everyone, and the humor of everyday living. Even during her illness, she kept her sense of humor and her interest in the news and the stock market, and the comings and goings of her children and their children. She demonstrated for us what it means to live with grace.

She is survived by one brother, Dr. Henry McCune Ure, three children, Judith P. Mitchell, Ogden; Joyce P. (Rondell) Hanson, Laguna Beach, CA; Ralph U. (Connie) Pugmire, Farmington, NM; nine grandchildren and 23 great-grandchildren.

SUNSET - Paul E. Nicolaides returned home to his Father in Heaven and was reunited with his eternal companion on March 27, 2004. He was born March 12, 1926, to Olva K. Nicolaides and Eva Wheeless Nicolaides, in Ogden, Utah. He was educated through the Ogden school system, leaving his senior year to join the Navy in 1944. He was sent to the Pacific island of Guam as an aircraft and radio mechanic. He was a member of the Carrier Air Support Union 12. Their unit repaired more airplanes and got them in the air faster than any other unit. The government said it was only possible to do 80 or so a week, they were able to triple that amount. Returning home after the war, he met Ellen Jean Eilander and they were married on June 18, 1947. The marriage was later solemnized in the Switzerland Temple. A son and daughter were born of this union. In the early 1950s he re-entered military life, this time joining the Air Force. He was stationed in Germany, Minnesota, New Mexico and in Utah during his enlistment. He retired in 1969, after serving through the Korean War and into the Vietnam Conflict, bringing his family home to Utah. He went to work at Hill Air Force Base as a civilian in engine maintenance, retiring from there in 1991. His wife told him he needed something to do one or two days a week, just to keep out of her way, so back to Hill Field he went, volunteering his time at the base hospital pharmacy. He made life-long friends throughout his travels, corresponding through letters until he discovered e-mail. Then it was on the computer for an hour or two a day. He loved traveling, even if it was only for a few days at a time. He devoted his time to Ellen, taking care of her through the final stages of rheumatoid arthritis. She passed away on December 11, 2001. With Ellen gone, he was very lonely, even though his children and friends kept him busy and involved in activities, as much as possible. His wife's sister, Beverly (Birdie) Marshall, who had been widowed for a few years, kept boosting his spirits with her upbeat, positive attitude. Soon their friendship turned to love and they were married on April 19, 2003. They loved going back and forth to Price and Sunset taking care of their homes.

`Now the end is near, and so I face the final curtain.
My friend I say it clear, I'll state my case, of which I'm certain.
I've lived a life that's full, I've traveled each and every highway,
and more, much more than this, I did it my way.
For what is a man, what has he got
if not himself, then he has not
to say the things he truly feels
and not the word of one who kneels,
the record shows, I took the blows and did it my way.`

Lew wished to express his gratitude to each and every one of his customers with this message, `Thank you for the wonderful 40 years that you shared with Peg and I. There are many fond memories that `Pegs Lew Monicos` will leave with many. A toast to you, my friends, live, love, laugh, be happy, and of course, who loves ya, baby.
