This is what made him a good lawyer; but it was his heartfelt compassion for his fellow man coupled with his understanding of the law that made him a great one.<BR/><BR/>The basis of our "democracy", is the fact that "the majority rules". He clearly understood that, agreed with that, and would have responsibly accepted that; whatever the outcome of any election.<BR/><BR/>Your apology is accepted and thank you for the portion of your remarks which were a tribute.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-71557100180969485662009-01-02T10:15:00.000-05:002009-01-02T10:15:00.000-05:00Mark Spaz,I was trying to pay a tribute to a great...Mark Spaz,<BR/><BR/>I was trying to pay a tribute to a great lawyer and apologize if I offended you.Bernie O'Harehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13756311150988957401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-91977423681748492712009-01-02T07:16:00.000-05:002009-01-02T07:16:00.000-05:00I disagree Bernie; "Spaz" would never have said (B...I disagree Bernie; "Spaz" would never have said (Blank) "em".

I can still remember the smile on his face when he saw me eating a salami and sardine sandwich.<BR/><BR/>And when I said that I had one for him, as well, it was like I gave him a billion dollars. But what he didn't know was, that he gave me the billion dollars when his face light up with joy.<BR/><BR/>He was one class guy that was a regular joe that didn't forget his roots. He had a lot of good jokes that were chiefly real stories that happened in throughout life.<BR/><BR/>We are so blessed to have the Lehigh Valley and all of its colorful people.<BR/><BR/>I miss my friends and I miss my home...<BR/><BR/>~~Alex J.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
