Joe R. Greenhill

I am deeply saddened to learn of Judge Joe Greenhill’s recent passing.
Texas was truly blessed to have had such an honorable man as Joe Greenhill presiding over our highest court for so many years. But I feel especially blessed to have known you both as long-time friends of my parents and for all the good times shared. My brother and sister join with me in expressing our love, prayers and deepest sympathy to you Martha and all of your family.

Sincerely,
Pamela G. James

Joe Greenhill was a great Judge, a distinguished scholar but, most importantly, he was a fine man. He left an indelible mark on Texas history and he will be missed and revered.

Sending so much love to you Aunt Martha, and the rest of the family. Uncle Joe will be truly missed - your Shuford family in DC and NY are thinking of you all.

It was a pleasure and an honor to work with Judge Greenhill and we will miss him. We were most honored and blessed that he presided over our wedding ceremony many years ago! He has definitely left a legacy and has touched many lives. Kim & Dan Day

Judge "Chief" Greenhill was a true man without guile. A man who lived a life of honor and peace toward all. What an inspiration to the world! If only those of us who had the privilege of knowing him will carry the torch to do the same. Mrs. Greenhill and the Greenhill Family, my deepest condolences to you. May God be with you at this time of grief and loss.

Our deepest sympathy for the Greenhill Family. What an amazing life on earth Judge Greenhill experienced.

Those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. Isaiah 40:31

I will always remember being "sworn-in" (along with several hundred others at the Erwin Center) by Judge Greenhill. After he administered the oath to us, he said "relax, you're in." It was the perfect thing to say to a bunch of baby lawyers. Twenty-five years later Debbie and I had the accidental privilege of sitting with Judge and Mrs. Greenhill at a lunch before a UT football game. They were both as charming and gracious as they could be. I reminded him of what he had told us at that...

Our deepest sympathy to the Greenhill Family. My father and uncles always spoke highly of Judge Greenhill. They have welcomed him in heaven. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
