Bernolfo "Soar Forever Free" Marie Odell Bamberger Bernolfo, daughter of a pioneering Utah mining family and great niece of Governor Simon Bamberger, died June 21, 2005, at her home in Holladay, Utah. The eldest child of Clarence G. Bamberger and Marie Odell Bamberger, she was born in Salt Lake City, October 9, 1917 against the backdrop of World War I and the Russian Revolution. She lived through the trials, triumphs and enormous scientific advances of the 20th century. Her father's friendship with Dr. Jonas Salk led to her children being among the first to receive polio vaccinations in hopes of vanquishing this great childhood scourge. Educated at Rowland Hall, Vassar College and Stanford University, she married Joseph E. Bernolfo Jr. on June 20, 1940 as World War II was looming. She was a tennis player, skier, and member of the Salt Lake Country Club Women's Golf Team. Moreover, she was an equestrienne of great skill. The walls of her barn were adorned with ribbons won, regularly besting the young cavalry officers in competition at the Fort Douglas Horse Shows. Her quiet philanthropies both personal and through the Bamberger- Allen Foundation were directed towards the less fortunate in our community. She volunteered her time and consideration with grace to many deserving causes including, reading to the blind, helping at the Craft House and serving as a Hospital Pink Lady. She was also a member of the Salt Lake Junior League. Enhancing the beauty of our world through gardening gave her great pleasure. She was surrounded by the flowers and trees of her Holladay home and the creation of her Pebble Beach flower gardens. Her love of animals was legendary. Throughout her life, dogs and cats were at her side and horses were not far away. She was an ardent advocate for their well being. Fluent in four languages and widely traveled, she lived her life by the precept: "Face a l'evenement c'est a soi-meme que recourt l'homme de caractere", ("Faced with crisis, the man of character falls back on himself'). She never lost her sense of self or of the times in which she lived. Believing that lack of effort and ignorance were the worst shortcomings one could have, she was an avid reader throughout her life. With wit and imagination, she nurtured many friendships of substance and zest. A lady of elegance and joie de vivre, she was instinctively devoted to her family. She cared for both of her parents, her husband, and her aunt, Dorothy B. Allen with love and concern. Her beloved grandchildren Dylan Rothwell (Erin) and Ashley Rothwell (Christian Draayer) gave her an unwavering sense of joy. She loved her sons Joseph E. Bernolfo III, and David W. Bernolfo (Leslie) and her cherished companion and daughter, Gloria B. Rothwell and husband Hank Rothwell. Preceded in death by beloved sister Gloria Bamberger. Survived by brother Clarence Bamberger Jr., sister-in-law Vivian McCarthy and nieces and nephews and their children who all felt her love and generosity.

Stewart Jr., Isaac Daniel Isaac Daniel Stewart, Jr. 1932 ~ 2005 Isaac Daniel Stewart, Jr. was born November 21, 1932 in Salt Lake City, Utah to Isaac Daniel Stewart, Sr. and Orabelle Iverson Stewart. Dan attended East High School where he was an outstanding scholar, avid athlete and All State football star. He attended the University of Utah for one year on a football scholarship where he joined Sigma Chi fraternity. From 1953 to 1956, Dan served as an LDS missionary in the West German mission where his mastery of the German language and excellent understanding of the religion resulted in a public speaking assignment where he lectured at universities throughout Germany. Months before returning home, Dan contracted polio. He spent the next year and a half in a difficult rehabilitation at Rancho Los Amigo Hospital in California where he was confined to an iron lung and worked to regain the most basic abilities such as holding a pen. Returning to Utah, Dan weaned himself from a respirator and set his sights on obtaining the finest education he could receive. In 1959, Dan graduated with a B.A. in Political Science from the University of Utah, Phi Beta Kappa, and was selected as class valedictorian. He then entered the University of Utah College of Law, where he served as Editor-In-Chief of the Law Review, was elected to the Order of the Coif, and graduated first in his class. In 1959, Dan married the beautiful and accomplished Geraldine Elizabeth Bryan. From 1962 to 1965, Dan worked with the United States Department of Justice Honors Antitrust Department in Washington, D.C. Upon their return to Utah, Dan joined the University of Utah law school faculty where he spent five years teaching civil procedure, evidence and antitrust. He was known for serious legal scholarship and effective teaching. From 1970-79, Dan was a partner and managing partner at the law firm of Jones, Waldo, Holbrook & McDonough where he enjoyed practicing major business antitrust and First Amendment litigation. In 1979, then Governor Scott Matheson appointed Dan to the Utah Supreme Court where he served for 21 years. Justice Stewart brought to the court a reflective and independent legal mind. He was known for the powerful clarity of his writing, the enormous depth of his thought and legal analysis, and colorful and sometimes strong language used in his opinions. His fundamental belief in the rule of law many times resulted in passionate and courageous dissents. Justice Stewart, Dan, Danny, Uncle Dangy, Grandpa Danny, and Dad was an extraordinary man with a superior intellect, an iron will, a keen interest in politics, economics, books, sports, fine art and natural beauty. He dearly loved his wife, children, and grandchildren. He had an innate sense of playfulness that connected him to his family. Dan had a profound faith in God and a great love for his religion and for his religious and family heritage. He spent many hours pondering and exploring the fundamental tenets and nuances of his religious beliefs. Danny was a self made man. He was a man of enormous will and inner strength who exhibited courageous stoicism in the face of the most trying circumstances. He demonstrated extraordinary independence, speaking for what he believed to be true regardless of others' views. He had a profound work ethic and showed shear determination in all undertakings from the agonizing death penalty cases he was asked to decide to, at the end, simply breathing from hour to hour. Despite his obstacles, Dan was charismatic and quick witted, an unparalleled conversationalist, and was a man who could light up a room with his charm and broad smile. He understood people and particularly those in special need, the disenfranchised and those treated unfairly. Dan was accompanied in life by his dear bride, Elizabeth, who devotedly stood by his side. She selflessly attended to his needs and during the last few very hard years, provided attentive and tireless care. Dan and the family appreciate the care Dan received from physicians, family members, friends and aids over the last 10 years without which he and Elizabeth would not have survived. He is survived by his darling wife, Elizabeth; his daughter, Liz Stewart Whitney, and her husband, John Larson, and their children, Rebecca Elizabeth Whitney, Madeline Ann Whitney, Elizabeth Larson, McCall Larson and Jack Larson, and daughter, Shannon Stewart, and her husband, Matthew Clark, and their children, Eliza Stewart Clark, Isaac Daniel Clark, and Amelia Stewart Clark; his sisters, Mary Louise Holbrook, Caroline Madsen, Saundra Stewart, Geraldine Waterman; and loving nieces and nephews. Dan has finally been released and we rejoice in his new found freedom. He is received by his mother, father, and siblings. Run Dan. Run.
