Worley-Jensen Monument Price • 45 W 100 N • 637-4400 Doran O’Halloran Wayne Dimick HELPER- Our longtime friend Wayne Dimick, died November 28, 2008. Born January 20, 1944 in Price and later married the love of his life, Rosalie; son, David; daughter, Jody (Kelly) Young; grandchildren and joy of his life, Detter, Mariah, Brandi, Skye, Tazmin, and Eric “Our Little Fireman”; brothers, Kay and Kenny. He was preceded in death by his mother and father. Wayne was a pillar of the community and he touched many lives as a firefighter and EMT for 32 years. He was available for anyone in need and always just a phone call away. He was a caring and gentle soul to all he came in contact with. Wayne served as a judge and treated everyone with respect and dignity. He retired from D&RGW Rail Road, worked as a custodian and a beloved bus driver. He had the most infectious laugh, and when he laughed he laughed from his toes. Wayne’s laughter could lift your worst mood. He overcame many adversities, but was a fighter that rose to the top like cream. Life was not always a bed of roses for him, but his life seemed to flourish like a well kept garden. When you see an EMT, Fireman or hear a siren, think of Wayne as he will be with them in spirit. “We love you and will carry you in our hearts-We’ll keep your light shining”. Dog Talk with Uncle Matty Continued from Page B5. The reality is that many -- far too many -- holiday puppies are returned to pet stores or abandoned in shelters come January. This being the case, the description of the best candidate to receive a puppy for Christmas looks something like: -- has very few friends -- has no travel plans -- received minimal party invitations -- loves freezing walks in the dead of night -- hates holiday decorations, doesn’t open the door to carolers, and refuses to buy or bake sweets of any kind, but especially those containing chocolate. Lucky pooch. All that considered, a puppy is still a personal choice. Not everyone wants one. Not everyone can take care of one. And those who want and are able to care for one will also want to be involved in the process of In Business Since 1982 Quality Glass & Approved Sealants Glass LIFETIME WARRANTY AGAINST LEAKAGE Complete Line of Residential Doors & Windows *AuthorizedDealer* u Doors, Windows, Screens, & Heavy Equipment Glass We Deal Directly with Insurance Companies Auto Glass u Chip & Crack Repair Gordon’s Nursery & Floral “Serving Emery County Since 1998” “Providing Competent, Respectful Care in Your Home” 60 East 100 North • Price, Utah Phone (435) 637-0665 Toll Free 877-637-0665 Fresh Flowers, Plants And Gifts Mon-Fri 9-6 •Saturdays 10-3 actually a cat person, no harm done.

This year, instead of giving an actual puppy, why not give a puppy starter kit to someone you suspect might really love to have a dog? The kit could include a few books or videos on dog training, a soft chew toy, a blanket, a crate with good visibility, and a gift certificate for a trip to a shelter or rescue on you -- or any combination of the above!
