Wallace was married to Carol Jean Pohlman in the Salt Lake Temple on March 3rd, 1961. WS graduated from Brigham Young University with a Bachelor's Degree in Accounting and thereafter became a Certified Public Account while working for Haskins & Sells. Post Graduate, WS attended the Advanced Management program at Stanford University.
WS spent a majority of his professional career working for Baker International, a company in the energy sector. Once retired from corporate America and following a few consulting endeavors, he purchased the Ortho-Medical Supply company in Holladay, UT. For the next 20 years he supplied the Wasatch Front community (including the VA) with ostomy supplies, compression stockings and various medical supplies.
WS attributes his hard work ethic to time spent with his dad maintaining family apartments after school during his youth. He learned a lot from his father and cherished that time of his up-bringing. He was a faithful home teacher. He has always maintained his testimony of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. He will be missed!
