He was born in Inglewood, California on September 23, 1951 to Adlin Lamar Huish and Wanda Myrtle Dunn. He grew up in the Los Angeles, California area.

“Lin" was a kind and gentle man with a sense of humor and with many varied interests and aspirations. He had a ready smile and was optimistic and thought the best of others. He loved to tease, especially with his sisters when he was younger and later with his grandchildren.

He graduated from Granada Hills High School and later pursued higher education from Pierce College, Shasta College, Utah State University, and ultimately received his PhD from Columbia Pacific University in Health and Human Services.

He was a devoted member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and served in the New Zealand South mission from 1971-1973. Before and after his mission he was active in the Young Adult and Institute Programs.

It was through the young adult program in the Hyrum Stake that he met Celia Ann Leavenworth. They were married in the Logan Temple on March 7, 1975 and celebrated their 50th anniversary just five days before his passing. Together they made a loving home and welcomed six children into their family. Lin was a loving husband and a devoted father.

Lin was a licensed marriage and family therapist for more than 32 years and also worked for Church Welfare Services for 26 years as a Rehabilitation manager for the Portland and Logan Deseret Industries and later as the Employment Manager in the Logan, Utah area.

He enjoyed serving in the Church as Elder's Quorum president, stake missionary, Sunday School and Young Men's president, Bishop, Scout Committee Chairman and High Priest Group leader. After retirement, Lin and Celia were privileged to serve a church service mission for the Hyrum Seminary special needs students.

Lin had many varied interests including obtaining his pilot license while in his teens, going on motorcycle road trips, continuing his education with martial art classes, learning sign language and playing the guitar. He enjoyed attending Know Your Religion classes and BYU Education Week and he attended various seminars and conferences, going on vacations and guided tours to Church history sites, U.S. history sites, and to Jerusalem. He loved taking his children to science museums, zoos, the La Brea Tar Pits, the City of Rocks, Yellowstone, and Church history family vacations, etc.
