Life Story for LaVerne (Bus) Provo Jr.
LaVerne (Bus) Provo Jr.
Bus was born to LaVerne and Carrie Provo on January 30, 1939 in Wenatchee, WA. He passed away on February 11, 2018 at his home in East Wenatchee, WA.
Bus lived life to the fullest and he will truly be missed. He had so many talents. He loved people and was a very loyal friend to many. He had a great sense of humor and always had a smile for you on his face.
Bus served in the Coast Guard Reserve in 1957 . He had a beautiful voice for singing and sang professionally in San Francisco. He was very musical and could play the piano by ear. He was an awesome cook and chef. He loved bowling and made many friends during his bowling years. He spent his life in sales and was very good at it. In his later life he started a business called "Provo's Pride." He sold different kinds of meats around the Wenatchee Valley and in the Seattle area.He was known as the "Meat Man" to many of his dear customers.
Growing up in Wenatchee some of his fondest memories were of his hunting trips on the Clockum. He shared those trips with his Grandpa Provo, his Dad, Brother Dan, uncles and many dear cousins. It was a yearly trip and he loved to talk about how much fun they had.
Bus married Carolyne Culp (Goldie) on September 9th, 1974. She was the love of his life. He helped Carolyne raise 3 wonderful boys. Troy, Brian & Tim Goldie. Last year they celebrated 43 years of marriage. They loved to go camping and fishing with their boys and their families. When they had their 5th wheel trailer their favorite place to go was Fish Lake.
Bus leaves behind his loving Wife, Carolyne Provo of East Wenatchee. Sons: Troy (Gae) Goldie, Brian (Julie) Goldie, Tim (Jeanette) Goldie, Glen (Diane) Johnson. Sister: Debbie (Don) Gurnard, Brother-in-laws: Gary (Susan) Culp, David (llaMae) Culp. 13 Grandchildren and 5 Great Grandchildren. Special Nieces, Nephews and many cousins.
Bus was preceded in death by his Parents; Brother Dan; and 1 Grandson Darin.
There will be a private family memorial at a later date. Special thank you to Hospice. They were so very kind and helpful to Carolyne in his last days. Thank you also to Jeff Wilson and Heritage Memorial Chapel of East Wenatchee for all of their help and guidance.
