Thank you for visiting this memorial page honoring those who either graduated or would have graduated from Granger High School in 1965. We are honoring as many former classmates as we can find who have passed on. They were our friends, associates, teammates and, in some cases, our lifelong partners and companions. We also honor our veterans and those gallant young men who gave their all, in defense of the country they loved so much. To our MIA, James Schiele, we will never forget you and will continue to look forward to the day your remains are returned to the land of the free, the home of the brave.

Thanks to everyone who helped in the development of this memorial page, especially Diane Day Cooper, who would have graduated a Lancer were it not for her parents relocating their family in 1960. Without her, this would not have been possible. Thom Rich

Lowell Tolman

Lowell C Tolman, age 63, passed away March 23, 2010 in Salt Lake City, Utah.

He was born February 23, 1947 in Fairview, Wyoming to Alvin Tolman and Phyllis Chadwick. He married Irene Potochnick on December 30, 1971. Lowell was a man with a zest for life. His work at Delta Airlines enabled him to indulge his twin passions for travel and food. From the aisles of a dark Taylorsville mink shed to the crumbling ruins of the Roman Coliseum, Lowell truly grabbed all that life handed him. He was well read and loved to write. His skill with words and witty Christmas letters will be missed by family and friends alike. He was a medical miracle, often referred to as the “energizer bunny” – he kept going and going, surviving leukemia and countless brain tumors. Lowell took a road well traveled and left a precious gift for all of those lucky enough to have come in contact with him.

Lowell is survived by his loving wife, Irene Tolman; daughter, Marquette (Jeff) Smith; parents, Palmer and Phyllis Ashe; siblings, Anna (Ray) Olsen, Wendell (Deanna) Tolman, Clair (Christine) Tolman and Ryan (Penny) Tolman; 2 grandchildren, Rodger and Melissa Smith. Preceded in death by his father, Alvin Tolman.

Funeral Services will be held Monday, March 29, 2010 at 11:00 a.m. at Valley View Funeral Home, 4335 West 4100 South. The family will receive friends at a viewing Sunday evening from 5 until 7 p.m. at Valley View Funeral Home, and one hour prior to the service. Interment: Valley View Memorial Park. Condolences may be sent to the family @valleyviewfuneral.com In lieu of flowers please send contributions to Huntsman Cancer Institute.
