It's no secret that I love obituaries in the newspaper, and especially those of people I might have known earlier in my life.
One this week is for a guy, just 73 years old, who was a well-off dentist in Las Vegas. I didn't know him there, but he and his little family lived around the corner from us in Sandy, early 70's until his dental practice gave him enough money to move farther east and that was about the last I saw of him. He had been the Elder's quorum president among the high profile jobs in our ward and was overall a decent guy.
Post divorce(me) I ran into him once at Fashion Place Mall in Murray. I was shopping with my daughter. He and a couple of his 7 kids were shopping also. He was friendly, told me it was nice to see me and that's all.
Never heard anything more about him (except my ex told me he'd closed his dental practice here and moved to Las Vegas.) I saw a few years back that his wife, a very nice woman, had died of breast cancer while they lived in Las Vegas. He apparently took more training and became a very popular dentist there and had a very successfull cosmetic dentistry practice.
Getting to the point, he died this week, still in Las Vegas. Here's a link to his obituary.

The services are to be held on Sunday 3/24 at the Springs Preserve which is a very nice nature conservancy in Las Vegas. No mention of a service at a local church. And his fiancee looks about half his age, which means nothing.
Just an interesting obituary.
