Hon. James P. Ginocchio

Goodbye Honorable James. You deserve so much more from me. Sorry to your family, you are in my prayers. Godspeed.

I just found out that " ginnoc" ( as we called him) passed away. We had many good times and laughs during our friendship. He was a great schoolmate, co-worker and friend. We lost one of the good guys Sincerely.....Michael duke

Sorry to hear of Judge Ginocchio `s passing. I had the pleasure of working with him at the Litchfield courthouse as a Marshal. He was one of the best judges, always fair and pleasant. My condolences to his family.

I knew Jim from the Peppermill, where I worked for 5 years, from UB Law School, and from my return to Connecticut when I had cause to be in Norwalk in the early 90´s for criminal matters.

May he rest in peace. Bob Brunetti,

I always respected that about my old friend. He taught me many things concerning my professional career and my personal life. A true mentor. ...

Dear Family and Friends of Judge Ginocchio, He was a great Public Defender, a great Judge, and a great guy. My deepest sympathy to all of you who loved and respected him. I am sure that list is endless. May he rest in peace. Suzy Storey, former Chief Public Defender, retired

I am so sorry for your loss. He was the best judge I ever worked for. Such a wonderful man.

So sad upon news of Jim's passing. A friend, mentor and sailing buddy. Also grilled a great stern steak.
