Happy Birthday Larry! Where are you living these days. Do we have your accurate address? Bob Valentine
Happy Birthday John from Bob and Shauna Valentine. We are dying to drive to St. George and have lunch with all of you guys. You are exactly one week older than I (May 21) which is why I always respected an older person. Best wishes to Judy. Stay safe and keep your sanity during this pandemic (I can't).
Happy Birthday Chris from Bob and Shauna Valentine. Hope you are well and happy and keeping sane (I'm not!) during the pandemic.
Dennis Alger 
1942-2020
Our sweet, witty, and loving husband, dad, papa, and friend, Dennis passed away from this life on Saturday, May 2, 2020 and was greeted and embraced by many loved ones. Born in a little house in Provo on February 27, 1942 to Keith and Zelma Alger, joining big brother David (Jeanette) and later gaining a sister Kris (Ron).
Dennis was a true Provo kid-attending school at Timpanogos Elementary, Dixon Jr. High, Provo High, and BYU. He served a mission in Germany. He worked at Keith’s Lunch with his father and mother. He cherished the time he spent working alongside them. He got excellent at preparing the well-known and loved chicken fried steaks! Dennis enjoyed cooking them for his family every Father’s Day or as a requested birthday dinner!
On October 25, 1982 he was married and sealed to his wife and best friend, Kathy Evans in the Jordan River Temple by Elder Neal A. Maxwell. They have four cheerful children: Katie Jane, Buddy (Jenny), Mary (Jake), and Turner. Currently, he is papa to five wonderful grandchildren: Buddy, Bexley, Ruby, Liam, and Charley. On March 27 he celebrated 39 years of sobriety! Dennis proudly shared his story and journey of recovery. One of his greatest passions was helping young addicts and alcoholics in their recovery.
Dennis was a talented interior designer. He loved being around fabrics, wallpapers, furniture, and artwork. He enjoyed and participated in the Parade of Homes for many years and won many awards. He fulfilled service missions at the MTC and as a facilitator for twelve step meetings with Kathy. Dennis loved the Lord and shared his testimony of His goodness and power often. He had a gift and talent of making those he associated with feel loved. He made friends wherever he went no matter how brief the interaction. Knowing Dennis meant you loved him and he loved you!
We are thankful to know our Dennis is now free from the dementia in which he suffered and fought so valiantly. We know and have hope through and because of our Savior, Jesus Christ, that when we are with him again he will fully be Dennis!
At this time a private family service will be held. At a later date there will be a party celebrating his life and love! Condolences and full obituary at www.bergmortuary.com.

From Jim Griffiths: I became acquainted with Dennis Alger when we began attending Dixon Jr. High School around 1954. Dennis was a truly unique individual. When you got to know him, he was probably one of the funniest people you'd ever meet, from the way he acted to the way he walked, he was a classic. As I mentioned in a post that I sent to Bob Valentine, Dennis may have been most well known for his association with Keith's Lunch in downtown Provo. Keith was Dennis' dad. I'm not sure how many plates of hash Dennis, and his older brother David, served up, but it was probably in the thousands. Dennis was a true and loyal friend all through those years at Dixon Jr. High and Provo High. The thing I remember most about Dennis was whenever he would greet you, he had this funny, quirkey, kind of twitch whenever he would say your name. It was truly unique to Dennis! I lost contact with Dennis after high school. My next association came in 1988. My dad had suffered a stroke in early February and his ministering bishop just happened to be Dennis Alger. He was a true blessing to our family - kind, gentle, humble, and sincere almost to a fault. My dad died July 1st, and Dennis was there bringing peace and comfort to our family, especially my mother. Dennis Alger is a keeper and I will eternally cherish my friendship with him.
Happy Birthday Susan from Bob and Shauna Valentine. We hope you are well and happy during these "interesting" times.
FROM JIM GRIFFITHS:
Bob ….. thanks for the update! Dennis Alger was my Dad’s bishop at the time of my fathers passing, July 1, 1988. Dennis was a keeper. He and Kathy live on the Grandview Hill, next door to my son Wade’s inlaws, the Kinghorns. Most of us will remember Dennis through and in behalf of “Keith’s Lunch” in downtown Provo. Keith was Dennis’ dad. Dennis probably learned to “throw a little hash” working with his dad. We will all miss Dennis Alger. I look forward to his obituary!
Happy Birthday Larry. I hope you are well and happy. I wonder every day if we will have to postpone our PHS Class of 1960 reunion. What do you think? Bob Valentine
Happy Birthday Robert from Robert and Shauna Valentine. Be safe. I hope the pandemic clears up in time for our 60th PHS Reunion on July 3 & 4.
Happy Birthday Susan from Bob and Shauna Valentine in Highland. We hope the pandemic will end soon so that we can celebrate our 60th PHS reunion on July 3 and 4. Best wishes,
Jerry (Jake) Jacobson sent the following information. 4-26-2020
The obit is pretty spot on about schooling. Newt transferred to BY high after sophomore year (along with Richard Hintze and Steve McAffee). He may have had more visibility there.
Crossed paths with him at least at Maeser and Farrer, possibly even Joaquin if he went to kindergarten there. Had no idea he was an Eagle scout.
Also did not know he married Karen Knudsen. We lived across the street from Wes Knudson until 1948. I used to play with the Knudsons. Her older brother Kent graduated from Provo in 1958. Karen went to BY training school from the beginning so lost any contact.
Wes had a business then placing and servicing juke boxes. They built a new house up on the east side circa 1950. Wes had the front steps covered with nickels, notorious locally at the time. He was also a well know boat racer.
