In 1968, Still was appointed Chapter 13 Trustee for the Chattanooga and Winchester Divisions of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee. He also served as a Chapter 11 Trustee and Chapter 12 Trustee for all of east Tennessee and was on the Chapter 7 Panel of Trustees. During his 47-year tenure as a trustee, he presided over a number of notable cases, including the Hamilton National Bank bankruptcy, which was one of the largest in the South at the time. Still and Bankruptcy Judge Ralph H. Kelley also standardized several procedures and forms that were adopted by courts across the country. He also helped develop the National Association of Chapter 13 Trustees and served as one of its early presidents. Still retired in 2014. The family will receive friends Monday from 5 to 7 p.m. EDT at the East Brainerd Chapel of Chattanooga Funeral Home.
