This is really a loss for all of us. He was a good, kind person.

One of the best (3.00 / 1)

As I reflect back on Judge Ozmun, I am struck first by his uncommon decency.  He was a man of considerable achievement who maintained his humility and humanity throughout the course of his career, a fact that was not lost on this young lawyer.  

He also possessed a first-rate intellect.  Those who knew him and the caliber of his lawyering would undoubtedly agree that he would have made a top-notch Supreme Court justice had he been granted the time and the opportunity.

He leaves behind a legacy of justice that should inspire all of us to take action -- to do what we can, with the full measure of our ability, in the time we are given, to help those in need.  

Judge Ozmun will be missed and our deepest sympathies are with his family.

A Loss For Austin (3.00 / 1)

Judge Ozmun was good-humored, self-effacing, and dedicated to doing right. He was happy to give advice when asked, and as a fledgling candidate, I asked him more than once.

Separately from politics, he and I were both Georgetown University graduates. The last time we talked we lamented over how badly the basketball team was doing this year. To me, this summed him up: despite his position and respect in the community, Scott Ozmun never stopped being a regular guy. Genuineness is rare in politics. He will be missed.
