Not sure what to say?

There was a time I felt Craig and Maureen were our only friends in the 3rd ward. Although living in Springville 95% of the time there would be months at a time we didn´t attend church in the 3rd ward but Craig always said hi and made us feel apart of his world. My heart still hurts and it´s been near impossible to go back to visit the third ward, knowing we won´t see Craig . He wished me Happy Birthday on my last Birthday and said next time down we should go to dinner. I feel bad for so many...

My first association with "Doc" was through the Water & Power Board during the mid to late 1990s. I attended because I was mayor of Santa Clara and also involved in my water rights legal practice. It seemed Doc and Ross Hurst monopolized most of the discussions. Together with comments by Bruce Stucki, I'm not sure anyone else, including the Chairman, Shirl Pitchforth, had much input. The interplay between Doc and Ross was fun to observe. He made what could have been pretty boring meetings...

He was such a great Dr. He delivered me and my sister. He performed my hernia surgery s. And took great care of my mother. Not many people get to touch so many lives in a great way as he did he was a great man and set a great example

I met Dr. Booth in 1973 when he did my physical to become a Jetette at Dixie HS. I worked with him at Dixie Hospital. The last 10 years in Labor and Delivery. I spent countless hours watching TV in an empty labor room with him while we were waiting for one of his patients labors to progress to delivery. I know how priceless those hours were where I had his mostly undivided attention between Midnight and 5am. He couldn’t go home and wake his family, just to turn around and have to come back,...

I grew up in St. George with Dr. Booth as our family Doctor. When I married and moved to Cedar it was important to me that he was my children's Doctor. Which he was until 2002 when he and Maureen served their mission. One time in his office with my children, my young daughter asked if Dr. Booth was the Prophet. She still thinks he looks like President Hinkley :) I will miss his side hugs! Our prayers are with the Booth Family!

Full of humor, he once told me that when Brigham sent the Saints to settle southern Utah, all the Saints that could read went to St George, the rest stayed in Cedar City.....

I didn't grow up in St. George but Dr. Booth would come into our office on his bike riding it right into the office he was bigger than life and such an amazing man. Rest in Paradise Dr. Booth.

As a near next door neighbor and long time member of the 3rd ward, memories of Dr. Booth walking to church past our home each Sunday alongside Maureen fill my head. Last July 4th as our family lit fireworks in the front yard, Dr. Booth rode over on his bike to chat. His presence as a neighbor and family friend made me proud in my youth and has provided comfort to our family in the past years knowing that he was the caretaker of the neighborhood and close by for my dear mother. Dr. Booth,...

Dr. Booth was not only a man of great accomplishment, but also possessed great kindness. I knew him as an excellent physician, a concerned bishopric member, and a loyal supporter of Dixie High during my years as principal. He was a generous friend to Dixie High and a constant fixture at athletic events. Dr. Booth was never satisfied with simply watching from the sidelines, but was interested in proactively helping others and sought ways to contribute. Those of us who worked at Dixie will...
