Wow


Just got word that my first court partner ever in the Tarrant County DA's office died last night while watching television with his wife. He was younger than me.

Edit: The Star Telegram now has an article on him. (But I was wrong about his age.)

But those who experienced his brilliant work, or shared a life with him, will always remember him.

I remember him being good-natured, kind and solid. My heart goes out to his wife.

Congratulations, Mr. Barry's First Court Partner. He must have been one of them good lawyers.

What a way to go - just like that (snap), and in front of the TV even.

I remember being taught this little prayer.........

"Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep.
If I should die before I wake,
I pray the Lord my soul to take."

I think, if I could be so bold, in requesting the way I pass on, that it would be sitting in my porch swing, while looking up at the trees, listening to the birdies sing. Snap - just like that - I'm gone. But in my sleep will be just fine too.

RIP, Mr. Lawyer Man.

I lived through experiences of going away, what a way to go. Peaceful and @ home, Barry no pain and quick. I don't want to sound cruel, but that is the way to go. U will always remember "brilliant work" (thanks C4us one day), memories last 4-ever. Attend and send flowers BU-Bear, keep the chin up. Memories will make u dream the past, good or bad.....
