Donald K. Comstock

I remember his visits to his sister (my mother) Gladys in Oneonta in the 1960s; and, a brief visit at his house in the 1970s (Fulton, NY). I wish I had the opportunity to know him better since my mother would say so many good things about him. Rest in peace!

I appeared before Judge Comstock many times as a cps caseworker from 1985 until his retirement. He was a good man doing an incredibly difficult job, and I greatly admired him. I was not aware, until now, of his service to the country, his Purple Heart award, or that he was the first Oswego County Family Court Judge. He was wise, good humored and genuine. I considered him a friend and learned much from watching him work. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family.

Constantly striving to do the right thing in the face of adversity is a noble purpose. Donald K. Comstock was always a man who tried to do just that. Being a Family Court Judge is not easy. You deal with the widest array of human emotion, and are daunted every day by the shortcomings of many. It could be a depressing job, but Judge Comstock made it a platform for the empowerment of individuals aspirations to lead better lives, and to uplift the lot of all families in Oswego County. I was...

I met Judge Comstock when I first started the practice of law and Family Court was in the County Building on Bridge Street. Remember?
This is a very appropriate picture of him smiling, which would brighten up any place he was. Only the pipe is missing.
He was mild mannered, which particular;y suited a Family Court Judge.
A great man did good at a particularly hard job.
My former world will miss him, as I do.

I met Judge Comstock many yrs ago when I worked at the D.A.'s Office. I always remembered him as a true gentleman with a kind soul. RIP Judge. Prayers to the family.

A great man and a great judge. RIP.

My Dear Carol, You are in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time. I can not be with you on Sat., but I will be thinking of you and your Mom. I will be talking to you soon. Love you, Rene

A truly wonderful man and family. He will be remembered for a long time by many.
