Dad Retires!

A retirement reception was held in honor of Dad's 61 years of practicing law. As the invitation stated: Unbelievable as it sounds, George has decided to hang up his spurs. Often referred to as a "Lawyer's Lawyer," George has set high standards for the legal profession and was named Utah's Lawyer of the Year in 2002.
Many family, friends, neighbors and legal peers joined us in celebrating Dad's many years of service in the legal profession. Steve, Preston, Judge Lyon, Judge Dutson and Judge West all spoke of Dad's amazing career. They talked of dad's many attributes: integrity, honesty, a staunch defender of the law, always a gentleman and his keen mind. He always wore a suit and tie and his shoes were always polished. Dad was always willing to help anyone no matter what their problem was or even if they'd be able to pay.
Dad, we are so proud of you. You have been a great husband, father and grandfather. You've been a great example to us for all your hard work in the law profession.
Congratultions Dad!! We love you,
Mom, Steve, Sue, Mark, Elaine, Anne & Preston
