Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin


The 5 years I worked at The Lion House Pantry I had the opportunity to meet many apostles and Elder Wirthlin was one of them. He would come in with his son (and call him his body guard) every once in a while for lunch through the parking lot and we'd put them right at the front of the line. He was always happy to say hi to anyone who wanted to talk. While John worked in the parking of the Joseph Smith Memorial Building he got to know many of the church leaders cars. Sister Wirthlin would drive Elder Wirthlin into work, she would drive quite fast down the ramp and more than once John thought she would take the moving arm with her. Elder Wirthlin was a great apostle and man and I'm sure he loves being with his wife again. John and I now look forward to a new apostle being called and pray we will love and accept him as we did Elder Wirthlin.
