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

Bill Corpron


Dec. 6, 1946 - Feb. 3, 2013

"Bill" was the oldest son born to Edward and Ruby Corpron. He was born in Michigan and moved with his family to Utah at a young age. His desire to serve others led him to become a Firefighter and an EMT. He worked for Salt Lake County Fire and then retired after more than twenty years. After retirement he worked in Couer d' Alene, Idaho until his death.

Dad loved a good deal and always bought in bulk. He loved athletics, photography, and nature. He had an infectious laugh. He was a man with strong work ethic and everyone around him enjoyed his company. He loved movies and working on new projects. Up until the day he passed he loved riding bikes through the mountains of Idaho.

His children have found success following his work ethic for which we are grateful. We miss you and love you Dad!

He is survived by his five children,11 grandchildren, 2 sisters and one brother.

Funeral services will be held at 2:00pm on Saturday, Feb 9, 2013 at Larkin Sunset Gardens, 1950 East 10600 South in Sandy. Viewings will be held on Friday evening from 6-8pm and one hour prior to the services. Online condolences welcomed at www.larkincares.com.
