Jon Huntsman Sr. may have been a titan of industry, but he was not the type to isolate himself in an ivory tower.
He made differences in the lives of thousands of everyday people. Sure, he did so with grand acts of philanthropy but also through plain old generosity.
Here are some of those he helped — from valets parking cars at a hospital to educators molding young minds, from a cellist teaching classical music to impoverished Haitians to college students chasing their dream careers.
The valets at the institute always would look forward to seeing Jon Huntsman’s “iconic black Lincoln” roll up to the hospital entrance, said supervisor Mason Milligan.
