Judge Leahy was a truly special man and tireless advocate for the causes in which he believed. His advocacy for progressive policies in the juvenile justice arena will be sorely missed. Perhaps more importantly, his kindness, wit and warmth always made his passionate opinions seem less like diatribes, and more like the wisdom they were. My prayers go out to his family in their time of loss.

Judge Leahy was a fine man with a great smile, sense of humor and wit. He was dedicated to the legal profession. My husband Steve clerked for him. The Judge also performed our wedding ceremony at The Manor in West Orange in 1980. It was a lovely and touching service and he and his wife were guests at our wedding. He will be sorely missed by everyone whose life he touched. May he be greeted kindly at the Gates of Heaven.
