Not sure what to say?

Wish I would have added my thoughts earlier, however, since Christy is often in my mind, I will add them now. My dad was Bill Coughlin, Rita's cousin. Bill and Chris really got along especially at holidays and family gatherings. As a young child at a Christmas party at his home I was told not to touch ANYTHING. But, there it was, a color TV, the first I ever saw, with the first remote I ever saw, anywhere. I was told not to touch it. Christy came over, handed me the remote and said have...

Our deepest sympathy. We always enjoyed the Judge and his family at Woodside Ranch. Many fun times playing tennis during the day and dice games at night. Just great memories.

I had the great honor of working as a young prosecutor in Judge Berkos courtroom at 26th & California for two years. He was simply the nicest and most gracious man I have ever met. I especially remember the nights having a drink with him at Jeans while we waited for a jury to come back with a verdict. What a great human being and judge. I never knew anyone who did not like him or love to be in his presence. May God Bless him and his family.
