    • Kenneth Edward Polly passed away peacefully at home in Provo, Utah, of natural causes, March 13, 1991.

      Ken was born in Long Beach, California, June 7, 1946, the first and only son of Caroline Scorup and Dr. Orville Louis Polly.

      He attended schools in Long Beach, affiliating with Key Club and graduating from Poly High School with honors in 1964. At Brigham Young University he enjoyed his association with Intercollegiate Knights and graduated in 1972 with a BA in German. In between studies he served an LDS Mission in South Germany, completing his mission as secretary to the mission president.

      One of Ken's great joys was traveling abroad. He spent two semesters with the BYU Semester Abroad program in Salzburg, Austria and went on a tour of the Orient. Ken always loved cars and worked several years inspecting new cars under transport, ending his career as manager for Intermodal Transportation Services in Salt Lake City.

      Ken was a prince to his friends. We as a family and friends will especially miss his generosity and sense of humor.

      He is survived by his mother, Provo; two sisters, Mrs. Howard E. (Karen) Sandberg, Olney, Maryland; Mrs. Gerald T. (Julie) Snow, Salt Lake City; ten nieces and nephews, Sven, Scott, David, Rosalie, Marianne, John and Kristi Sandberg; Carey, Jesse and Daniel Snow. He was preceded in death by his father.

      Funeral service was Saturday, March 1, 1991 at Berg Drawing Room Chapel, Provo. Interment was in Provo City Cemetery.
