John “Jack” William Malmborg Jr

Well, I’ve now gone 10-42 (tour of duty over) It’s been a good life. That doesn’t mean everything has always been easy, but I have had blessings without number. I was born in Salt Lake City on 9/1/1931 to John W. Malmborg Sr. and Sara F Nelson Stock. In my early years my family was involved in Hard Rock Mining and much of my youth was spent in mining camps.
The Korean War started just after I graduated from Granite High School and of course I was called to serve in that war.
I met my eternal companion Lorna Breitling at my work before going into the Army. We were married at Fort Sill, Oklahoma a few days before my going to Korea. I was still a teenager. Shortly after I returned we were Sealed in the Salt Lake temple. Lorna preceded me in death after being with me for 60 years. Every thing I loved was what she was, the angel glow that lit my days.
We had 5 children, John L Malmborg(Cindy), Cathy Malmborg(Bart Wood), David Malmborg(Shelly), Janalee Malmborg(Cory Oberhansly) and Douglas Malmborg(Jenny) We also had 16 Grandchildren and many Great Grandchildren. I have one brother Donald (Dorothy) Malmborg and one sister Shirley Malmborg(Richard Greenhalgh)
I graduated from the University of Utah with a bachelor’s degree in business, and my life’s work was in Public Safety. I worked for the Salt Lake City Police for 3 years and then for the Salt Lake County Sheriff until retirement. After retirement I worked for a California based Insurance Company in an executive position.
I served in many church positions and in 3 temples. The Salt Lake Temple, the Jordan River Temple, and the Draper Temple.
In Korea, the LDS men had frequent prayer meetings, often before a battle and frequently the closing hymn was “God be with you till we meet again”.
To my family and friends I leave that thought with you as my final message to you. We will meet again.
A song from my youth that touched my heart and gave me a lifetime appreciation of my heritage and the beauties of Zion was “O Ye Mountains High”.
