Not sure what to say?

Buddy was my 1st boss and friend when he began with White, Hamilton, Wyche and Shell. He made me love working for attorneys and I am sorry he is no longer with us. My best to all of his family.

So sorry to hear about your loss, Mrs. Pollard and to your dear family. I was not aware of this until today, Monday, June 19, 2018. He was a great man to everyone and to your family. I will pray for your family that all of you will find the peace and comfort needed during this time.

Judge Pollard was fair and well respected and it was an honor to be able to testify in his court as a police officer.

In this season of sorrow, may you find that
on the most difficult days the beauty of memories bring comfort.

Judge Pollard was a great judge and an amazing man. I just got to see his art at the gallery in May. I spent years prosecuting in his courtroom He will be missed.

It was an honor to serve as court security for Judge Pollard. Prayers and thoughts are with the family.

As a police officer I was in Mr. Pollard's court on many occasions. Judge Pollard was everything a judge should be, firm, understanding and fair. As a man he was even better than he was as a judge. Rest in Peace, a well deserved rest for a job better than well done.

Judge Pollard molded and shaped me to be the best Commonwealth Attorney that I could be from the onstart of my 27 year career in 1991. Later, Judge D'Alton joined with him in instilling in me the demand for high quality professionalism, prosecution, and trial advocacy that my citizens demanded and deserved! Judge Pollard called me Dragon Lady because I would be tough at times! I loved him for he was my mentor and my inspiration! One of a kind!

Judge Pollards was a credit to The City and judicial system an HONEST man will be missed and 10 years I knew him
