Juanita,Fran(and Bobby),Jeff(and Polly) and Chris: I am so saddened by the Judge's passing. But I feel so grateful to have had him as my mentor in my first year out of law school when I worked as his clerk on the 1St Circuit. He was so patient, kind,and generous with his knowledge and praise. He was one of a kind. As accomplished as he was as a jurist, I am sure he was as accomplished as a husband, father and grandfather. I will also be grateful all of you for including Lynn and me in his 80th birthday celebration. Time is too fleeting. My deepest sympathy and utmost respect, Len Kilgore

One of the models in my life for how to be an honorable, fun loving, and gracious man. My life has undoubtedly been better for having come in contact with Luther Cole. His unselfish efforts may have seemed small to him, but were huge to me when they occurred. So sorry I will be unable to make the service. Chris and family, thank you for sharing him with so many others.

Our greatest sympathy to Mrs. Cole and family. He was one of the finest men my husband and I had ever met. Judge Cole will never be forgotten. We think of all of you often and can still picture all of you at the big round table at La Fonda's.

Fran, I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. I don't know your Dad's final days' situation. I, personally, was so glad for my Dad because he had been in the bed for 1 1/2 years and we had already grieved. I pray for peace that only God can provide for you and your family.
Love,

I know I share with many others the deepest gratitude to Justice Cole for him taking a personal interest in my becoming an attorney and his many lessons that made us all better people. He was a great jurist, an even better man, and ever more so an exemplary family man that made all of us that he touched better human beings. Our great State of Louisiana is blessed to have had him in its service. My hope is that the many lives he made better by his very being is of comfort to his wonderful family.

It was with great sadness that I read of Judge Cole's passing. My mother and dad were close friends with the Coles and I can remember many laughs at the house. I think fondly of tailgating at LSU games and eating hot tamales in Plaquemine with the judge.
There is no doubt in my mind that with the Judge joining my Dad in Heaven that jurisprudence is in for a shake up. Our condolences and best wishes to the family.
