Henry Lamar Behling joined his sweetheart (mama doll) on January 13, 2012. She was the love of his life and this was long awaited joyful reunion! Henry was born February 25, 1918 in Castle Dale, Utah to Herman August Ferdinand and Hedvig Catherine Peterson Behling. He grew up in Castle Dale Utah where he learned to love carpentry work and met Ellen. He married Lois Ellen Snow on November 9, 1940 in the Manti Temple.
Henry loved America and served in the army during World War II. Grandpa always had a flag at his home and had great respect for freedom.
He was a journeyman carpenter and built many churches, seminary buildings, apartments, and a hotel to name a few. After his retirement he spent many hours using his skills to build wooden gifts, help those who needed a project done, helped remodel homes, DI, and continually blessed many lives. He had a large garden and shared with family and neighbors. He found great joy in hanging bags of freshly picked corn on the fence for any passerby to take home and enjoy.
Henry loved the out-of-doors and spent much of his time hunting, fishing, camping, and seeking adventure. His children and grandchildren also learned this love of the outdoors and nature from grandpa.
Henry was a faithful member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints where he had many opportunities to serve. He served a mission as the foreman for the construction of the Pocatello North Stake Center. He especially loved serving in the Stake Presidency, as the High Priest group leader, a home teacher, and the financial clerk. He enjoyed people and made many life-long friends who he has kept in touch with. He was a true, loyal friend.
He is survived by his children Ruth, Phillip (Margaret), Max (Ann), and Denice (Brent) and 20 grandchildren, 31 great-grandchildren, and 1 great-great-grandchild; also a brother Rex (Thora) and sister Alice. He was preceded in death by his parents, his wife, two sisters and two brothers.
Funeral services will be held Friday, January 20, 2012 at 11:00 a.m. in the Timpanogos 2nd Ward Chapel, 800 North 100 West, Pleasant Grove, Utah. Family and friends may attend a viewing Thursday evening from 6:00-8:00
