Surnames: Nebaker, Hansen, Rich Classification: Obituary Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/hd.2ADI/1572 Message Board Post: Standard-Examiner, 11/23/05 Conrad Hansen Nebeker died suddenly November 21st, 2005 during a morning of hard work on his beloved Indian Creek Ranch at Bear Lake, Idaho. He was born in Salt Lake City, Utah on June 14, 1930 to LaRue Hansen and Sidney J. Nebeker, who raised him on South Eden Ranch at Bear Lake. After his father's death, he continued to ranch with his grandfather and ride saddle broncs. He wintered at East High (Class of '48), where he was a state track champion. He served a mission in Australia and then volunteered for the Army during the Korean War. While attending the University of Utah, he met Carolyn Rich, his loving wife of 47 years. He graduated from the University of Pennsylvania and trained in internal medicine at San Francisco General Hospital, University of Iowa, and the University of Utah. For over 30 years, he practiced solo internal medicine in Ogden, Utah. Making frequent housecalls and volunteering regularly at the Rescue Mission, he loved his patients generously. He was proud that Medicare cited him for charging his patients too little. He was a visionary. Among other businesses, he established his first retirement home and opened the first salad-bar restaurants in northern Utah. He invented a rotary engine, car turntable, prostate shrinker, and micorwave pothole fixer. His most ambitious project was to move Hong Kong to the Baja Peninsula in the late 1980's. Just recently, he was working on a sustainable solution for nuclear waste disposal. Always hard at work, he moved sprinkler pipe, bucked bales, and remodeled houses until the day he died. He found creative expression building large water structures such as the Bear Lake Monster, the Shoe House, and the Ranch Hand truck stop that featured his hand-made barbed wire chandeliers. He is survived by his wife, Carolyn Rich Nebeker and his four sons, Jonathan Rich Nebeker (Melinda), Jason Rich Nebeker (Cindy), Michael Rich Nebeker (Reyna), Adam Rich Nebeker (Heidi), his 11 grandchildren and his three siblings, Sidney Jay Nebeker, Mary "Dearie" Winters and David Eliot Nebeker. He was buried at Sagebrush Cemetery, Bear Lake, Idaho, on Tuesday, November 22, 2005.
