Not sure what to say?

I think of Judge Fenton all the time. I worked for him at the Superior Court in Tucson in the 70s and 80s. He married my husband and I in Scottsdale, AZ In 1990. He was an outstanding gentleman and I loved him very much. He was always so kind to me and my family. I truly miss him and I will never ever forget him.

As a family law attorney, I had many occasions to interact with Judge Fenton, a respected, admired, and brilliant jurist. He had wisdom for the ages which enabled him to treat everybody in his courtroom with courtesy and kindness and enhanced his ability to make reasoned and just decisions that were understood and appreciated fully. He lived a long and satisfying life and his presence will truly be missed by all who knew him.

I met Judge Fenton at the antique fair he always made my day. It was an honor to know him. I will always remember.

My condolences. What a terrific man and jurist he was. It is a great loss; he gave us so much for so many years. It was an honor to practice before him.

Judge Fenton was one of the most impressive men I ever knew. He was kind and loving and made this around him feel good. His integrity was unsurpassed and his judgment was impeccable. A life well lived and a legacy to be cherished by his family.

Sorry about Mr. Fenton just to let you know I worked and lived with a family way back when do kids were very young I used to stay in Nancy´s room

My sincere condolences to your family. Judge Fenton was a wonderful man and a great friend to us. He married us in Scottsdale, AZ In 1990 and I thank God we have beautiful memories and photos of he and your mother at our wedding. I worked for Judge Fenton as a courtroom clerk at the Superior Court for many years. Loved him so much and he will always have a very special place in our hearts! He was a wonderful man.

Judge Fenton epitomized what makes a great judge. He was kind, patient and a great listener. As a new member of the bar, I argued my first motion before him. He had a way of making everyone in his courtroom feel comfortable and welcome. I was honored to work on his conciliation and mediation committee. He was one of a kind. With much sadness and respect.
