Friend : Don Leslie Scarlet (N7DIZ)

"Don Leslie Scarlet, 1927-2020 - Don Leslie Scarlet passed away at home
early in the morning on March 18, 2020 at the age of 92. He was born to
Lawrence Eli and Clara Ann Richards Scarlet on July 23, 1927 in Salt
Lake City. He graduated from South High School in 1944. Soon after, he
enlisted in the Merchant Marines where he served on three different
ships in the Pacific. As the conflict in Korea started, he enlisted and
served in the Military Police Company at Fort Douglas. Later the unit
was activated to Fort Lewis, WA. He continued to serve in the Army
Reserve and retired as a Chief Warrant Officer. With a great love and
service for his country, he was truly one of the greatest generation.
After returning from his service, he met and was sealed to Bonnie Jean
Theobald in the Salt Lake Temple in December 1953 and from that marriage
raised four daughters.
Don followed his father and brothers as a pipe-fitter and plumber. His
girls thought that a plumber was someone who could repair anything. No
matter what he fixed they would tell him he was "such a good plumber".
Don started his own business, Radio Phone of Utah, where he began
repairing two way radios and later added to it an engraving business.
While running his business, he also worked as an electrical engineer for
Johnson Controls. He retired after 36 years and continued his engraving
business as a hobby. He was a computer genius and loved the newest
gadgets & technology. He enjoyed ham radio as a hobby with his call sign
N7DIZ and made many friends through the ARES group where he served as
president. Don had a wonderful sense of humor and kept everyone around
him in stitches. It was always a joy to be with him."
