Salt Lake Tribune, The (UT) - June 25, 2000
Deceased Name: Dallas A. Greener
Dallas Adams Greener, 86, passed away peacefully at his home on June 21, 2000, surrounded by those he loved and loved him.
He was born in Hinckley, Utah on April 29, 1914 to Miles and Lillis Adams Greener. He married Phyllis Hermansen on June 9, 1940. Dallas grew up in a humble, yet loving environment.
He never tired of telling stories about his early life on the farm, and with every tale there left no doubt of the love and respect he had for his parents and siblings. He was educated in local schools where he developed an appreciation for sports. Blessed with speed and a lot of "guts," he excelled in football and track. His physical abilities enabled him to improve his mind, continuing his education at Branch Agricultural College in Cedar City. As a member of the BAC half-mile relay team, Dallas and three team mates set a conference record.
His ability to play football allowed him to continue his education at Utah State. In 1937, the year he graduated, he played halfback on the last conference championship team Utah State ever had. It was also the last undefeated team in Utah State History. That year, Dallas was named as a member of the Rocky Mountain All-Conference Team. "If I couldn't play football, I would have never been able to attend college," Dallas stated many times. "Most people during those days wanted to attend but couldn't, because money was tight; I was lucky." Years later, Dallas returned to Utah State to obtain a Masters Degree in Education Administration.
After graduation, Dallas began his teaching and coaching career at Emery County High School in Castle Dale, and Lincoln High School in Orem. He always said that moving to Orem was the smartest decision he ever made because that is where he met his wife, friend and soul mate Phyllis Hermansen. For 60 years, they supported each other on any project or position they have assumed. With their marriage, Dallas adopted Phyllis' parents, Nels and Mary Hermansen, as his own, showing them the consideration and respect that any loving, faithful son would.
After serving as a Naval officer in World War II, Dallas and Phyllis settled in Gunnison, Utah where his teaching career continued.
He also served as junior high principal and high school principal prior to being promoted to South Sanpete School District office to organize and operate a vocational education program.
Other accomplishments include: Distinguished Service Award for Gunnison Valley and member of the Jaycees. He was also a member of the Lions Club for 41 years, serving as District Governor of 28 H. He also served as a member of the Board of Trustees for the Utah Education Association, Board of directors for the National Education Association, and President of the South Sanpete and Southern Utah Teachers Associations. Of all his accomplishments and awards, Dallas' greatest joys involved hard work and community service, the relationships and experiences he shared with his wife and three sons and their families, and the lives he touched during his 39 years of teaching.
Dallas is survived by his wife, Phyllis; sons Glen (LaRee), Paul (Ann), and Phil (Beverly); eight grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. Preceded in death by his parents, brothers Grant, Marvin, Floyd, Fay, Lavoy and Cleon, and sister Hilda.
Funeral services will be held Monday, June 26, 2000, at the Gunnison LDS Stake Center at 11 a.m. Friends may call at the Stake Center on Sunday from 6-8 p.m., and Monday from 9:30-10:30 a.m. Burial will be at the Gunnison Cemetery. Funeral Directors, Magleby-Jensen of Salina and Gunnison.
