Hatch, W. Gene
W. Gene Hatch 1917 ~ 2005 SALT LAKE CITY - Wilda Gene Glasmann Hatch, age 87,
passed on June 7th in her home surrounded by family and loving caretakers.
When Gene passed on, she left her children, grandchildren and
great-grandchildren a legacy to share with all Utahns. Gene was a quiet but
effective voice for the beautiful Redrock canyons and plateaus of Southern
Utah. With her husband, George Hatch, and other conservationists, Gene helped
establish Capitol Reef and Canyonlands National Parks, expand the borders of
Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, add lands to Arches National Park and
create Antelope Island State Park. As a young woman, Gene was deeply concerned
about the welfare of migrant workers. In 1937 she interrupted her studies at
Stanford University to offer assistance to those hit hardest by the
depression. An accomplished debater, Gene met her match when she debated young
George C. Hatch. In fact, he was her match and their marriage thrived over 60
years. Together, Gene and George lovingly raised a large family and expanded
the Glasmann communication business. From 1955 to 1993, Gene was Director and
President of the Standard Corporation which included The Ogden Standard
Examiner, KUTV television, KALL radio and many other communication businesses.
Gene's active career was arrested by the onset of Alzheimer's disease. For 20
years, Gene struggled with the debilitating disease. George, her children and
caregivers tenderly cared for her over the long duration of her sickness. The
family is grateful for the kindness of Gene's doctor, Dr. Cherie Brunker; the
staff of Hospice, longtime friends Bill and Donna Vogel and Gene's many
caregivers. We especially thank Rawlin and Marcia Pinkerman, Jean Taylor,
Jeanie Eames and Raquel Luz for many hours of kind and expert care. Gene was
born November 28, 1917 in Ogden, Utah, to Abraham Lincoln and Edris Alida
Toombs Glasmann. She graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Stanford University and
received an Honorary Degree, Doctor of Humanities, in 1981 from Weber State
University, Ogden, Utah. Her husband is George C. Hatch, and her children are:
Michell Arnow, Orlando, FL; Diane Orr, Salt Lake City, UT; Jeffrey (Peggy)
Hatch, Salt Lake City, UT; Randall (Ann) Hatch, Salt Lake City, UT; Deepika
Avanti (Carlos Ogsbury) Gold Hill, CO; 15 grandchildren and seven
great-grandchildren. Close friends and family are invited to celebrate the
gentle and bright life of Gene Hatch on Thursday, June 16 from 5 to 7 p.m. at
the home of Jeffrey Hatch. In lieu of flowers, friends are encouraged to
support organizations preserving Utah's desert wildlands and groups dedicated
to understanding and curing Alzheimer's disease. Funeral Directors,

Thomas, Madison H.
Madison H. Thomas, M.D. 1916 ~ 2005 "Having fought a good fight... having
finished his course... having kept the faith" Madison Hayball Thomas received
orders to report for duty beyond earth's veil on Monday June 6, 2005. He
relinquished his tenacious grip on this life after a blessedly brief
hospitalization for pneumonia and without the incapacitation which would have
so frustrated him. He was always the servant, always the doer, always the
believer that one man could tackle even the toughest problems in this world
and by so doing, wrestle them down to manageable size. Madison H. Thomas was
born on 18 August 1916 to William Preston Thomas and Lucile Hayball Thomas in
Ogden Utah. As a youth growing up in Logan, he was high school valedictorian
and active in dramatics. At Utah Agricultural College he was elected freshman
class president and led the R.O.T.C. regiment with the rank of Cadet Colonel.
He later served in the Coast Artillery as a physician during WWII and
commanded a thousand-bed Army Reserve Hospital for 10 years, with 42 total
years of military service. He graduated in 1943 from Columbia University
College of Physicians and Surgeons, served an internship at Cornell Medical
and completed a master's degree in neurology at the University of Michigan. He
married Marian Peterson in the Logan Temple on March 17, 1944. They had five
children, three daughters and two sons, and 13 grandchildren. They enjoyed a
long and happy life together flying, skiing, hiking, swimming, traveling,
studying great books and serving in the Church. She passed away on 20 March
2003. She sustained him throughout his life and he sustained her. What joy in
the reunion of these eternal sweethearts! In 1949 he began the practice of
neurology in Salt Lake City, serving at several local hospitals as well as in
state hospitals in Wyoming and Utah. For over ten years, he was the only
board-certified neurologist between Denver and San Francisco. He was active in
the Western Institute on Epilepsy, the Western EEG Society, the Epilepsy
Foundation of America, the American League Against Epilepsy, the Utah State
Driver License Medical Advisory Board, the Association of Mormon Counselors
and Psychotherapists, etc. He was awarded a distinguished service award by the
Utah Medical Association and a certificate of appreciation for service to the
State of Utah by the governor. He served for many years, until the time of his
death, as chairman of medical panels for the Utah Labor Commission. He was
active in the Boy Scouts of America, becoming district chairman and later
Council Explorer Program Chairman, in which role he took the largest
contingent of young men to the National Post Presidents' Conference in
Washington D.C. He was an Eagle Scout and was awarded the Silver Beaver. He
was a loyal member of the LDS Church and served in numerous positions
including the high council, as a teacher and doing genealogy work. He served
as mission president with his wife in the England Bristol Mission from 1982 to
1985, as a Temple Square missionary in 1986, and as a public communications
missionary in New York City from 1987 to 1988. He is survived by his brothers
Bill and Paul, and his children: Christina Van Rye; Gloria Thomas Gilmore and
her children: Britta, Stewart, Nathan, and Myra; Daniel (Alison) and their
children, Sarah and Taylor; Matthew (Jane) and their children, Clarissa and
Madison; and Lisa Thomas Clayton (Weatherford) and their children: Madeleine,
Marian, William, Elizabeth, and Laura. We thank him for living a life of love,
service and empowering example. Act II, Bravo! Curtain up on Act III. Funeral
services will be held Saturday, June 11, 2005 at 11:00 a.m. at the Valley View

Toone, Millard Reiser
Millard Reiser Toone 1942 ~ 2005 Millard R. Toone, 62, died from complications
of cancer June 7, 2005. He was born July 1, 1942, to Evelyn Reiser and Felix
Millard Toone in Salt Lake City, Utah. His seven older sisters eagerly greeted
their baby brother and have showered love and affection on him ever since. He
grew up in Salt Lake, graduating from South High School in 1960. Millard
married Beverlee Bigler in 1962. He has said that the happiest days of his
life were the days that each of his six children were born, and has always
made each of us feel as if we were capable of achieving anything. He served
six years in 5016th US Army Garrison Reserve unit. He worked at Bigler's
Speedometer and Appliance, Inkley's Audio Visual and for the last ten years at
his family business, Executive Boat and Yacht Brokerage. He loved his time on
the water, especially when he captained the whole family on many sunset
cruises on Lake Powell. As a diehard Parrot Head, he instilled in his children
and grandchildren an appreciation for Jimmy Buffet's music and easy-going
attitude and lifestyle. Every time we listen to "Fruitcakes" we will think of
him smiling, singing, and dancing along with Jimmy. An outdoorsman of many
interests, he enjoyed softball, camping, fishing, riding tractors and
motorcycles, and teaching his younger grandkids everything he knew about
horses. He loved watching his grandkids participate in soccer games, recitals,
horse shows, and family gatherings. He had many good friends and cherished the
time he spent with them. Millard never forgot a name or face. He knew a little
bit about everything and could fix anything. A life-long member of the LDS
church, he served in many capacities, particularly enjoying the times he
served as assistant Scout Master and nursery leader. Millard is survived by
his children Kimberlee (Ed) Michaud, Kory (Michele) Toone, Bekki Patton, Robyn
(Mike) Olesko, Greg (Sharlene) Toone, their mother, Beverlee, and
grandchildren Brandi, Dani, Matt, Lauren, Baylee, Nick, Oaklee, and Taylor. He
is also survived by sisters Marjorie (Dick) Landeen, Wilma (Bill) Walton,
Eileen Toone, Winona Woods, and Marilyn (Don) Gee. Preceded in death by his
son Donovan, sisters Miriam Toone and Kathleen Weiser, and his parents. A
celebration of Millard's life will be held at Memorial Estates, Mountain View,
3115 E. 7800 S. at 2 p.m. on June 11.Viewing will be held Friday, June 10th
from 6-8 p.m. and one hour prior to the funeral (Casual Dress). It was
Millard's request that rather than sending flowers, everyone should use the
money that they would have spent on flowers to get a colonoscopy - NOW. If his
cancer had been detected and treated earlier, we may have had several more
years to enjoy with this good man. It goes without saying that we will miss
our dad every day, but the important things he taught us will remain with us
forever.
