Ralph Dau

I was honored to be Judge Dau's Judicial Assistant from October 2001 until July 2006. In my 24 years with the Los Angeles County Superior Court, I worked with many fine Judicial Officers. However, Judge Dau was the hardest working and most dedicated Judge I ever had the pleasure to work with. His typical work day would begin at 7:00 a.m. and end at 7:00 p.m. He had a very keen intellect in all respects and a passion for the law. I learned a lot about the law from Judge Dau and my five years...

Bud was a classmate and fellow member of Review. I enjoyed seeing him again at the 50th reunion and, while he walked with a cane, I did not know he was in ill health. He was a first class individual and I am sadden to hear of his passing.

Marilyn, Marlene and I were shocked and dismayed to learn of Bud's passing. We remember him as an extremely intelligent man with a keen humor. I believe my first-ever assignment at O'Melveny back in 1976 was for Bud Clary and Bud Dau, and one of my very earliest professional meetings was with Bud Dau -- just him and me. I was terrified! And of course I started off by calling him "Mr. Clary". He corrected me with that stern look of his and I figured my career was over right then. But we...

Dear Marilyn,

I was really saddened to hear of Bud's death. I so enjoyed visiting with him at our pledge class reunion and also enjoyed our visit with you. Eleanor sends her condolences as well and I only wish that we had more time to spend together with Bud. He was a wonderful friend and pledge class brother and was really a person of the highest integrity and a fun member of our group. Our prayers are with you and the family. We will all miss Bud. All the best, Scott

Dear Marilyn,
I want to express my sadness over Bud's death. I enjoyed meeting you at our Phi Gamma Delta 1955 Pledge Class Reunion in Austin in April 2015. I feel especially privileged to also have had the opportunity of an extended conversation three months ago on April 17, 2016 over breakfast when Bud was again in Austin for his law class reunion. He spoke so fondly of you and your family. We had some good times during our college days, and I will always remember Bud as a loyal friend...

Dear Marilyn - I am very sorry to hear about Bud's passing. I worked with him for 15 years before transferring to the New York office. He was a terrific guy, very helpful to a younger lawyer, a good man to spend after-hours with, a humorist and good friend. I very much regret that I will not be able to give you my condolences in person. I have added him to my prayers.
