Dr. Emory Guth West of Monterey passed away at the CommunityHospital of the Monterey Peninsula on September 25, 2013, his loving wife Beverly by his side. He was 90 years old. Emory was born in Des Moines, Iowa on July 1, 1923 to Dr. George and Kathleen West. His father was a dentist and his mother a piano teacher.
