Prudence, David George "Hippy"
David George Prudence HIPPY We're sad to tell of his passing February 14,
2005. He died in his sleep. He was born in Park City, Utah Nov. 17, 1948; his
parents preceded him in death. Hippy, a Marine Veteran, served in combat from
1956 to 1969 in Vietnam. He was a wanderer, he liked to see what was over
there; in the last 25 years he always came back to the love of his life,
Gaylene Finch. The last time he came back to marry her and settle down in May
of this year. George was a big bear of a man who cared about people. His
favorite thing to do was feeding the pigeons in the park right by the sign
saying not to. He has been at the VA Hospital for the last two years, where he
made many friends who are saddened by his passing. There will be a memorial
service Thursday March 10, in the Healing Garden, Veterans Hospital, Salt
