In Memory

William A. (Skip) Benincosa - Class Of 1963

KAYSVILLE- William Albert Benincosa, Jr. (Skip)

passed away September 14, 2005. He was born

in Council Bluffs, Iowa to William Albert Benincosa

and Rosa Irene Benincosa, April 18, 1945.

He attended the Clearfield schools and graduated

from Utah State University. He served in the

United States Navy. He also served an LDS mission

to South Africa and was always eager to serve in his various church callings.

He grew up with Ree, Mary Jo, David, Barbara, Vallard, Robert and Warren,

always loving them and their families. Always ready to help and to teach

and to listen. Passing on now to join his father, William, they will stand

together to await and prepare in the coming day for a sweet and glorious

reunion of his mother, Rosa. His great love of her and gratitude for her

endearing and enduring example brought him continued happiness and

comfort always. Skip married Patricia Jo Pierce. Sealed together forever

they loved one another in a most treasured way. Together they have seven

strong sons and one lovely daughter: Ben, Paul, Tom, Adam, Ryan, Amy Jo,

Neil and Nate. Later, Nancy, Rachel, Cami and Tym brought added love and

heartfelt memories. Thirteen grandchildren enjoyed his jovial, playful, and

loving heart. His overwhelming concern and compassion was always his

priority and his gift. His great humor, ever present and treasured, was only

exceeded by his gentle and tender nature to comfort, sustain, and serve his

family. His message to his grandchildren is, "I'm Trying To Be Like Jesus".

His message to his children was to remember hard work, service, and

righteousness are what's needed to "Carry On". His assuring and eternal

love and thanks are given to all who touched his life. His quiet, constant

remembrance of "The Twelfth of Never" and "Side by Side" is his message

to his Sweetheart.
