Not sure what to say?

My wife and I have fond memories of meeting Gaspar and Carol most Sundays at the Matket downtown to discuss and solve all of the world's problems. He was a very fine man.

What a great man. It was such a pleasure working 7 years at the Windsor Condominiums and having Gaspar around with his kindness. My friend David Garia sends his warmest regards and thanks Mr. Perricone for his big role in his life. Gaspar will truly be missed. Thank you Judge, we need more people like you in this world.

With his passing we lost a good man and a sound jurist.

Wonderful memories. Gasper and his Dad had an office next to me on the fourth floor of the Majestic Building in Denver in the mid 60s . I often picked Gaspers Dad up by Washington Park enroute to our offices.
I had heard a lot about Gaspers power as a fullback for South High School and how he received a scholarship to Northwestern University. He played fullback when they won the Rosebowl.
Working next door next door to Gaspers made a big impression on me. That led to a long lasting...

we lost a great man with Gaspar and want you all to know that I learned a great deal from him, had a number of trials with him and was inspired by him. Although my practice started and eventually ended in Boulder, I will never ever forget him as long as I live. May he rest in peace!! JIM COOKE

We are so sad to hear of this. I clerked in the First Judicial District and ended up practicing law there for several years before becoming a corporate attorney. I had several trials and hearings in front of him. He was such a kind and thoughtful man. My wife and I moved downtown into the same building as Gaspar and Carol. The Sunday tradition was to meet them at the Market for coffee and political discussions. Cherished memories. Our deepest sympathies to the family.

As a Probation Officer from 1975 to 2002, I was so fortunate to have this man on the Bench during his tenure. His assertive nature on the Bench was well balanced with his humor when out of his robe. A good man who will be missed by many

Gaspar Perricone was my favorite jurist. I took his place on the Jefferson County bench upon his retirement. His tenderness and thoughtfulness in assisting me at the beginning of my judicial career will always be one of the hallmark high-points of my career in the law. He was a man who cared about fairness and justice. He called them as he saw them. He did not suffer fools gladly, but he was ultimately one of the most compassionate and wise men I have ever known in my life. I am proud to...
