    • Obituary:
      Gordon Hyde Nicholes, age 87, passed away peacefully after a short illne s s February 8, 2017. He was born April 13, 1929 to Edythe Tingey and Sam ue l Joseph Nicholes in San Diego, California. His family later moved t o Uta h, and he grew up in the Sugarhouse area. Gordy was the 2nd of thre e chil dren. He attended Highland Park Elementary, Irving Junior High, an d Eas t High School. While attending East High he met the love of his lif e, Bev erly Hanks. They were married in August of 1950 just prior to hi s departu re to serve in the Korean War. He received the rank of Master S ergeant wh ile he was there. Upon his return, Gordy finished his bachelor 's degree i n Electrical Engineering at the University of Utah and bega n his career a t Sperry Rand (now L-3 Communications), where he later ret ired after 30 y ears.
      Gordy enjoyed outdoor activities, including skiing, boating, motorcyclin g , hiking and camping. He was very proud of the fact that he skied int o hi s 80's. He also had a knack to fix anything mechanical or electrical -an d if he didn't have the necessary tool, he would make one. He was ver y mu ch a child of the Depression and was very frugal with his resources . He d id home and vehicle repairs himself rather than hire others to com e in.
      Gordy is survived by his two daughters: Susan (Terry Whipple) and Pegg y ( Philip Halliday), along with eight grandchildren, their spouses, fou r gre at-grandchildren, and multiple "adopted" grandchildren. Gordy is al so sur vived by his sister, Carol Baer, and nieces and nephews. He was pr ecede d in death by his parents, wife Bev, and sister Lynn Reid.
      Funeral services will be held at Wasatch Lawn Memorial Park Mortuary a t 3 401 South Highland Drive on Saturday, February 18, at 2:00 p.m. A vie win g will be held for family and friends on Friday, February 17, from 6: 00 u ntil 8:00 p.m., as well as one hour prior to the funeral services. I nterm ent will be at Wasatch Lawn Memorial Park. We would like to sincere ly tha nk the caring staff at Cottonwood Place memory care unit for thei r lovin g care they gave "Gordon."
      We will miss seeing the delight Gordy took in his grandchildren and th e z est he had for doing things and going places. He and Bev can now emba rk o n a new adventure together in the next life. Dad, we love and miss y ou an d will always cherish the legacy you left us of hard work, learnin g new t hings, and being self-sufficient.
