J. GRANT THURGOOD
Our loving husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother and friend, Joseph Grant Thurgood, passed away peacefully Sunday, February 12, 1995, in Salt Lake City, Utah. His great joy in life was quietly serving others.

He was credit manager for Fred A. Carleson Co. for 25 years. After retiring from the State Auditors Office in 1973, he served as the State Legislature with Security Services for 20 years.
He was a faithful member of the LDS Church serving in many capacities and was a high priest in the Monument Park 2nd Ward. He was a great sport enthusiast with tennis being his great "LOVE".
We will fondly remember him for his sense of humor, zest for life, and special devotion to his family. A special spot will always be held in the hearts of his grandchildren.
