Commentary: A special memory of Jon Huntsman Sr.
Utahns were crestfallen this month at our loss of Jon M. Huntsman Sr., whose name was instantly recognized as a successful industrialist, as an exemplary philanthropist, as a man who made it his mission to relieve human suffering. That he is mourned by the masses is fitting. He earned our love and admiration, and our tears at his passing.
Most honor Jon Huntsman for giving on a grand scale — for funding far-reaching humanitarian undertakings. Those of us who served on his staff have our own private reasons to pay tribute to this man — whom we knew as “JMH” or “the Chairman” or, in my case, as mentor and friend.
