Six people credited with saving the life of shooting victim, Edmund Thornell last year received special recognition Tuesday morning from the Sweetwater County Sheriff’s Office. Thornell was shot and left for dead by a couple he picked up hitchhiking on August 13. Detective Dick Blust, Jr. says that the Jim Stark Community Service Award was presented to Sarah Berry, Levi Berry, their sons Owen and Evan Berry, Wendy Berry, all of Rock Springs, and Roger Long, a family friend of the Berrys who lives in Colorado.
The award is named for the late Jim Stark, who served as Sheriff of Sweetwater County from 1977 to 1987.
When the war ended, Stark joined the Rock Springs Police Department and served there for nine and half years, when he joined the Sweetwater County Sheriff’s Office as a deputy. He went on to serve as Undersheriff from 1955 to 1977, when he was appointed Sheriff, an office he held and served with great distinction in for 10 years.
