Wayne Pope 3rd Avenue Master Barber NORTH SALT LAKE- Wayne LaVel Pope, 65, loving husband, father and grandfather, passed away from the debilitating effects of pancreatic cancer, his family at his side, on May l, 2004. He was born on August 24, 1938 in Vernal, Utah. He is survived by his eternal companion and wife, Carol, and children, Dan (Diane), Mike (Debbie), Ron (Maree), Cheryl (Layne) Packer, Gary (Emily); his 17 grandchildren; and his siblings, Agnes (Calvert) Lewis, Valda (Fred) Dietrich, Reed (Lorna) Durfee, Phillip (Jean), Loraine (Ed) Crow, Larry (Carol), Ruby (Gerard) Regnier, Grant (Sharlett) Durfee, Carolyn (Raymond) Ray, Rose (Jerry) Owens, Joann Palmer, Russell (Diane), Ilene (Steve) Rands, Mark (Peggy), Ross (Susan) and Will (Linda) Marda. He was preceded in death by his parents, Mark and Edna Pope. Wayne graduated from Uintah High School in 1956 where he was Senior Class President and a star basketball player. He married his sweetheart, Carol Hulburt, in the Salt Lake Temple, on June 3, 1957. He was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, serving as High Priest Group Leader, Bountiful Temple worker and in many other Church capacities. He loved his family, the Lord and his Church with all his heart. He worked hard every day, so that his children could have a better life. He enjoyed participating in and watching sports as well as venturing out of town on frequent camping, hunting and fishing trips, and many of the other valuable activities that gave his family precious time together; building a foundation of experiences that will remain with them forever. Wayne was a Master Barber, cutting hair for 45 years, most of them on 3rd Avenue at his own Wayne's Barber Shop. His clients loved him as much for his classic barbering as for his conversation. He cut the hair of governors, mayors, legislators, university presidents, Church general authorities and even TV personalities; but more importantly, he cut the hair of thousands of individuals he called friends. Having just retired, he and Carol traveled to the East coast, visiting as many of the Church, historical and tourist sites that they could. They were called to serve a Church Mission as Temple workers in Fiji. It was while they served with all of their hearts that Wayne became very ill and returned home for his last months of life. Funeral services will be held Friday, May 7th, 2 p.m., at the LDS Church, 3707 S. 800 W., Bountiful.
