Not sure what to say?

I repeat all the statements I previously have written. Howard Gist was a man, friend, and attorney that I admired.

Mr. Gist was a man I admired. As a young attorney, he gave me an example of how to be a good attorney at the same time how to be respectful to your fellow attorneys, to judges, and to your own clients and clients of the opposition.

Howard Gist was a man I admired. He was one of my idols when I learned how to practice law, how to respect clients, attorneys, and judges, and how to be an ethical and proficient attorney. He taught me things that I did not learn in law school. The legal professional needs more people like Mr. Gist.

Bill, Ellen and the entire family, I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
