I worked at the Vanderburgh County Courthouse in the latter half of the 90´s. I was in the clerks office early in the morning collecting files for misdemeanor court when we first met. He walked into the office and observed me for a bit then approached the counter and asked "Are you talking to yourself?" I asked "Are you eavesdropping?" He laughed and said "I am going to like you."

Wow, That obit for sure sounds like he wrote it. I had him as a law professor at Lockyear College in the mid 80's. He was engaging and smart. He made the information clear and memorable. I have been living out of state for 22 years and missed his passing. My sincere 'late' condolences. I'm certain he's greatly missed by his loved ones.

My sincere condolences to his family. I worked in the Prosecutor's Office for 10 1/2 yrs and met Mr Becker through my job. My father-in-law also knew him and was from the same "old school". His obituary reminded me so much of "Pop"..............same sense of humor. I'm very sorry for your loss.

My love and prayers go out to Mr. Becker's family. I miss him telling many us in the clerk's office about his traveling. He was always here bright and early ready to work. I like to see what new tie he would have along with a new joke. I will think of him often.
