ST. GEORGE, Utah - Horace William Jamison, age 94, passed away quietly at home on Friday, April 15, 2005, in St. George. He was born on December 8, 1910, in Cove, Utah, the first of five sons, to William Flavius and Ethel Titensor Jamison. He lived in Pocatello, Idaho until 1923, when his family moved to California. He graduated from Venice High School in Mar Vista, California, then attended UCLA and the University of Southern California Medical School, where he received his MD degree in 1936. He practiced radiology in Los Angeles for the next forty years, except for a four-year-period of military service during WWII at the Santa Ana Army Air Base Regional Hospital.
Horace married Bernice Tyler August 27, 1938, in Mar Vista, California and they were sealed in the Salt Lake Temple August 11, 1939. Since he was a quiet person and she very outgoing, he loved to have her at his side at church, at social gatherings and in their extensive travels. He also loved to listen to classical music, take photographs, play with his grandchildren and read and condense great books. He completed nine volumes of collected abridgements on a variety of subjects.
Surviving family include his wife, Bernice (St. George); three children, Lowell Tyler Jamison (Glendale, CA), Janelle Leona Jamison Jarvis (Provo, UT) and Kent Douglass Jamison (St. George); 17 grandchildren; 25 great-grandchildren; two brothers and one half-brother, John P. Jamison (Bountiful, UT), Steven L. Jamison (Los Altos, CA), and Gary Jamison (Huntington Beach, CA). He was preceded in death by two brothers and two half-brothers.
