He was deployed to Iraq during Desert Storm where he served as a Chemical Specialist. He proudly and selflessly served his country for 3 years and was honorably discharged. We are fortunate that our American Hero, more importantly, son and brother, returned home safely. Upon returning home, he was diagnosed with Desert Storm Syndrome.

In his 30's, he started to show signs of Muscular Dystrophy, which began interrupting his life more as time went by. He passed away peacefully in his sleep on September 1, 2013 while on a camping trip with his Mom and a friend and his loyal companion, Lilly, by his side.
He was preceded in death by his father, Dennis L. Snow, and his Grandparents. He is survived by his mom, Nancy K. Culver; brother, Lonnie L. (Tess) Snow; and sister, Connie (Pat) Snow; as well as many uncles, aunts and cousins.

573 Dennis Owen Donnelly
April 10, 1942 - August 5, 2015
Dennis Owen Donnelly, age 73, of Pocatello, passed away on August 5, 2015, in his home after succumbing to an intense fight with cancer.
Dennis was born April 10, 1942, in Passaic, New Jersey to James Andrew Donnelly and Elizabeth Galinak. Dennis graduated from Johns Hopkins University with a Bachelor's of Science degree in Engineering Physics in 1964, and from New York University with a Master's of Science in Electrical Engineering in 1965. Dennis had hoped to be an astronaut, but poor eyesight prevented him from attaining that dream. He pursued summer internships at Cape Canaveral doing work on rocketry and instrumentation, and at Sandia National Laboratory in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where he worked on automated guidance systems. He then worked for several years for Autonetics developing missile guidance systems.
Ultimately, his conscience dictated that he could do more good with his life than design weapons. He took a one-year sabbatical in Albuquerque, during which he discovered amateur astronomy and the joy and art of crafting telescopes. He then joined Volunteers in Service to America and was posted to serve on Fort Hall Indian Reservation. He occupied a small house at Ross Fork Creek, where he enjoyed an exceptionally dark and beautiful night sky, and made fast friendships with the community and his fellow volunteers that sustained him throughout his life.
After his VISTA service, he sought a peaceful application for his technical skills, and came to oversee Bannock Hospital's transition to electronic record keeping. Once he completed his work at Bannock Hospital, he took a job in robotics with Spalding Sports in Springfield, Massachusetts, but circumstances prevented the family from being able to move from Pocatello to join him. Family was too important, so Dennis returned to Pocatello and found a position doing circuit design at American Semiconductors, Inc., and he remained in Pocatello until the present day.
Dennis had many passions. He was a dedicated activist for peace, social justice and the environment, especially in opposition to nuclear weaponry and nuclear power. He helped lead the Pocatello Astronomical Society for many years and did extensive mentoring, community outreach and education on astronomy, and even developed and marketed the first automated guidance systems for amateur telescope users. He deeply loved baseball, which he played from early childhood through college and on well into his sixties. Later in life, Dennis developed an intense interest in classical music, opera and ballet, and spent considerable time with the large community of dog lovers who enjoy ISU's Bartz Field.
Dennis met his wife, Marianne Condon, when she was running for Congress as a write-in anti-war candidate in 1969-1970, and they married in 1971. Dennis and Marianne have three children - Suzanne, a university book store manager in Pomona, California, Julianne, director of the International Rescue Committee's office in Boise, and David, who works on nuclear nonproliferation issues at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in Seattle.
Dennis is survived by his wife of forty-four years, Marianne Donnelly, his brother, Fred, his three children, Suzanne, Julianne, and David, his six grandchildren, Brendan, Quinn, Devin, Kai, Liam, and Alarie, and his shaggy black dog, Scamp.
An informal gathering for people to meet and share their memories of Dennis will be held the evening Friday, Aug. 14, from 6:00 - 8:00 pm at the picnic pavilion in Centennial Park in Pocatello.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that people make contributions to the Snake River Alliance or other local or national organizations dedicated to peace and the arts. - See more at: http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/idahostatejournal/obituary.aspx?pid=175499070#sthash.Xcci7X29.dpuf

Each one spoke of his long acquaintance with him and bore a strong testimony of the faithfulness of Brother Morris and his integrity and fidelity to God, and spoke words of consolation and comfort to the bereaved and exhorted his sons and daughters to emulate the good example of their father.

He heard and received the Gospel message in his native land, (Manchester, England,) in his early manhood and was baptized by Elder John Olbertson, June 28, 1841, and received the spirit of gathering in that early day. He immediately set to work to save means to enable him to gather with the Saints in this land, he was enabled by the blessings of God to set sail from Liverpool Feb. 4, 1842 and arrived in Nauvoo April 13, 1842. Three days after his arrival he started to work on the Nauvoo brick yards. He worked upon the temple and was there the last six months there was any work done. He shared the persecutions and mobbings of the Saints in early days. He was among the first to come to the valleys of Utah, arriving on Sept. 20, 1848, and has taken an active part in the growth and development of our beautiful city. His residence in the Seventeenth ward was the third adobe house erected on the city lots, after the Saints began to move from the Fort.

He filled many positions of trust and honor, and leaves a record of a life well spent in the service of God. His posterity numbers one hundred and eleven souls. He was the father of twenty-two children, nine sons and thirteen daughters (two sons and seven daughters having preceded him), seventy-five grandchildren and fourteen great-grandchildren.

Legend has it that Jack was always an independent soul with an interest in engineering right from the start. One of his mother's, Great Grandma Hilton's favorite stories is when he was three years old growing up in Ogden. It seems he was interested in the street construction in front of his house and like to hang out with the crews. One day he came in and demanded "what taalor is my hair." His mother said "it's a beautiful red." "Well I don't yike it." "Why" his mother asked. "They are calling me a yed-hed!" Well he was a redhead alright and throughout his life he had the fire and spirit to match his hair color.

Jack grew up to be a natural athlete. He was a jock in every way. At Ogden High School he excelled in football, basketball, and any other sport he cared to try. In 1931, as a senior, he received the Standard Examiners Golden Watch Award for best all around athlete. Today they give out scholarships to the best athletes. In 1931 the Standard Examiner was the highest award available. I think he had a little bit of redhead temper in high school too, because he carried a few scars on his fists from educating fellow student.

Soon he talked his lifetime sweetheart, Elaine Poulter, into marriage, and started a family and a career. Jack was a self-made man. He received his engineering education through correspondence studies. Soon he was working in the field of engineering on Utah's state roads. He has told me stories of setting up his transit at night to shoot the north star because there were no accurate reference points to build roads like there are today. I'm sure it was a lot of hard work, but for those of us in the construcion industry cutting new roads using the stars as your guide is an awfully romantic image. He worked as a head engineer at DDO during the war. After the war he started Hilton and Carr Construction here in Ogden, a business he successfully managed for more than twenty years.

In 1968 he closed his company and helped my father Dee start up Big-D Construction. In fact it was grandpa Jack that came up with the company name. He mentored my father and did all the estimating and engineering during the first few years of the business. With his helping hand Big-D went on to become Utah's largest construction company.

After he retired Jack focused on his fishing. He had the reputation of catching fish when no one else on the water could get a bite. He claimed he could drop his hat in the river, fetch it back with an accurate fly cast, drop it on his head, and never miss a stroke. I have to admit I never saw him do that, but I think grandpa was his happiest when he was fishing. He focused on golfing at his favorite course, one he both desinged and built, and focused on his friends and family.

Jack throughly enjoyed his grandchildren and was the kind of grandpa every kid should have.

We all have our favorite memories of grandpa, mine go back to the early seventies when I was his hunting and fishing partner for several years. Through numerous trips to the Uintah Mountains and Bear Lake, Grandpa taught me how to tie a fly, cast a line, and how to release a fish without hurting it. Around the fire at night, under the mountain stars, he told me stories about his career in the construction industry, surveying uncut roads, outsmarting government bureaucrats, making friends in Utah and Idaho. He told me he truly believed there was unlimited opportunity in construction and encouraged me to follow in his and my fathers footsteps into the industry he loved. Those stories and his encouragement have stayed with me all my life.

He also taught me how to drink whiskey, swear, spit - the basic skills necessary to become a man. In fact, I think he at least tried to teach everyone here those skills at some time or another.

Grandpa had a great wit and a keen sense of humor. He like to laugh, and wasn't above a naughtly joke or two. I'd like to repeat a few, but he was the only one who could ever get away with them.

Jack Hilton lived a full life. He worked hard, played hard, and laughed a lot. He lived a proud, independent, honest life. What greater thing can be said of any man.

Allow me to share one of my favorite quotations:

"Do not suppose, my dearest ones, that when I have left you--I shall be nowhere and no one. Even when I was with you--you did not seemy soul, but knew that it was in this body of mine from what I did. Believe then that it is still the same, even though you see it not...Death cannot kill what never dies." --Cicero

Grandpa Jack you'll be missed. You'll be fondly remembered......

Talk given at John Seddon (Jack) Hilton's funeral by his grandson Jack Livingood -- August 1, 1996
