Arlyn Howard Sperry, 68, of Washington, Utah, passed away May 14, 2004 as a result of a long illness. He was born September 13, 1935 in Provo, Utah, a son of Sidney B. Sperry and Eva (Braithwaite) Sperry. Arlyn attended Provo schools and graduated from Brigham Young University in 1965.
Arlyn was married to Beverly Joseph and they had four children. They were later divorced and Arlyn returned to live in Utah after living in California and Washington. He married Geniel (Schemensky/Keller) on October 6, 1972. This marriage was later solemnized in the Provo Temple. Geniel had one son, Mark, from a previous marriage. Mark was later adopted by Arlyn.
After returning to Provo, Arlyn worked for the Utah Council of Governments. One of his responsibilities on that job was getting the Boys Club organized.

He enjoyed outdoor sports such as tennis, golf, fishing and hunting. He had a real love for little league baseball. He coached as long as possible and then he enjoyed watching his sons play, and then his grandsons play. Even when he was very ill he found a way to attend all his grandsons' games. He loved the boys and they loved him. All the team referred to him as grandpa.
The Sperry family would like to give appreciation to Dr. Kurt Bodily, Dr. Chris Biesinger, Ellen Johnson, Dr. Dan Madsen and Applegate Homecare for the professional and loving way they have taken care of Arlyn and Geniel during the years of Arlyn's illness.
