What a fun uncle he was. We have so many memories of hilarious Christmas Eve gatherings and of "Camp Carefree" with all the Beans. Such a good generous spirit remains in his children and friends.

Sincere condolences to Tracey and AJ and the whole family. Bourne was the first AT interviewer of me while a third year law student at Virginia. He was gracious, intelligent and inspirational. Being a partner of his was one of the attractions to joining the firm in later years. He will not be forgotten.
