Dad was born on April 8, 1944 in American Fork, Utah to Orin Morris and Louise Tressa Barney. He was raised in Lindon, Utah and attended schools at Lindon and Pleasant Grove.

Dad and mom raised their two sons and three daughters in Lindon. Steve (Connie), Laura Campbell, Jeff, Jeannie Swenson and Tiffany Supreme. Dad was a hard worker, always providing for his family. He worked at Geneva Steel, Alpine County Club and most recently Cedar Hills gold course. Dad was a self taught jack of all trades, from mechanic to electrician. He loved to camp, hunt, fish and work in the yard with his sweetheart. Dad had a great love for golf and outdoors. Dad met so many great people playing golf.
