Hardin Austin (Din) Whitney passed away on September 14, 2015 with his family and friends close by.
He was born in Helena, Montana on March 1, 1928. Din was the only child of his mother, Caroline C. Cannon, until she married James E. Steele with his daughter, Anne. He attended East High School, then joined the Navy at seventeen years old to serve the United States during World War II, directly after high school, and then served in the Korean War while living in Guam.
Upon his discharge from the Navy, he attended the University of Utah, where he received his undergraduate degree. Upon completion, he applied and was accepted to several law schools. He chose the University of Michigan.
He passed the Utah Bar in June of 1952 and served as an attorney for the Navy for a short time before joining the firm, and becoming president of Moyle & Draper in the state of Utah for over fifty-five years.
He was a great advocate for arbitration and won several awards for his work. He was a founding father of the Utah Dispute Resolution committee as well as on the licensing boards of many professions. He received attorney of the year for the state of Utah in 1998. He retired from his law practice in 2011.
He was a member of the Alta Club and served as president for a term. He also served as president of KUED and was a deacon at St. Mark's Cathedral. He loved this great state.
He is survived by his children, Denise Gibson (David), Telle Whitney (Bill Scholtz), Sharon Klinetop (John), Ann Bradshaw, Kathryn Hartman (Eric), and Carol Walton (Richard); his grandchildren, Corinne Klinetop, Paris Gibson, Victoria Weakland, Jackson Bradshaw, Erin Klinetop, Max Bradshaw, Whitney Walton, Garret Walton, and Nathan Kofford; and great-grandchild, John Klinetop.
