The wonderful Bob Martinez sent me this email, which he authorized me to post:
You may wish to include in your blog the passing of a great lawyer and person in our community.
I am an old friend of Pat Seitz and her husband Alan Greer. Pat informed me early today that Alan passed peacefully Sunday morning.
There will be a celebration of his life Saturday, January 10 at 10:30 AMat St Hugh Catholic Church in the Grove.
Alan, along with Danny Ponce and Steve Zach, was one on my first “bosses.” He was an outstanding lawyer and a wonderful person. I learned a lot about life and our profession from him, particularly the importance of integrity and treating each person, regardless of status, with respect and dignity.
I will miss him, but never forget him. I can still feel his presence and love.
Happy Holidays!
Bob
ReplyDeleteDavid, thanks for posting. Bob, beautifully said. I started working for Alan as a young lawyer, and I will always be thankful for his mentorship, his friendship, and his kindness. He was a wonderful man who had a defining impact on my life.
Bob Thanks for letting everyone know. So sorry to hear. My sincere condolences to Judge Patty Seitz and family. Alan was one of the very best.
ReplyDeleteA man that no one could dislike and all could learn from. His absence will leave a terrible void.
