Henry LeRoy Goss 95, passed away peacefully at the Utah State Veterans Nursing Home May 26, 2003.
Born in Salt Lake City February 8, 1908 to Annie Laura Fraser and Henry Frederick Goss. He married Hazel May Saunders May 5, 1944 in Denver Colorado.

Henry has been a "Jack of all Trades" and could and would fix anything. He would rise early in the morning because "That was the best time of day," and retire early in the evening. Hard work was his motto. He loved and enjoyed all kinds of animals raising horses, tropical fish, orchids and finches. He was a farmer at heart, loving all that it entailed.
Survived by his daughter and son-in-law Renee' and Michael Johnson; three grandsons, Blake and Teri Johnson, Chad and Alisa Johnson, Garrett and Heidi Johnson; seven great-grand children Luke, Keara, Jessica, Mckenna, Megan, Madeline, and Sarah Johnson; one step brother Clyde Reaveley; brother-in-law Paul and Edna Saunders; sister-in-law Faye Saunders.
Preceded in death by his wife Hazel, parents, four sisters, a brother, and a son.
Special love and appreciation to all the many nurses, aids, and staff at the Utah State Veterans Nursing Home S.N. unit, who gave constant care, and love, and made his last months full and comfortable. Also love and hugs to Hospice For Utah, for all the visits, help, support, and love. His care givers are very special people, who give part of themselves to each person they care for. Love and gratitude to all of you!!!
