Dear Mary, Noreen, Don, Sheila and Jim,

My heart goes out to all of you. I never knew all that Warren and my father had in common. Roots in Nebraska, Long Beach, Loyola, Palm Springs and the courtroom in Indio. Your family's welcome to Palm Springs is a treasure. From the pool table to the pool at Araby Point to the annual horseback ride campout in the wash below the house. The Slaughter home was a welcoming place. It is with saddness I see our parents generation passing. What...

Thinking about you and your family,with are deepest sympathies Mary Jo and Sean Wood

Jan and I would like to offer our sympathy to the family and let them know they are very much in our thoughts. As a young Deputy District Attorney I tried at least 15 cases in Judge Slaughter's courtroom the last 4 years he was on the bench in Dept A. As a brand new litigator, I could not have had a better role model. Judge Slaughter's integrity was exemplary and he showed me how one should conduct themselves with professionalism and civility. Like Judge Dougherty said I have tried my best to...

My wife and I are so sorry for your loss. Judge Slaughter was a role model for me as an attorney and a judge.

We send our prayers and sympathy to Judge Slaughters family.

My deepest sympathy to the Slaughter family for their loss, every time I drive past the Araby Point area of Palm Springs I think of the fond memories of youthfully playing at the Slaughter's house.

Good day to the Slaughter family.

I was admitted to practice law in California on 12/22/1976. Since then I have been a lawyer and served as a Court Commissioner for ten years.

Never during this entire period of time have I had the honor of appearing before and working with a judicial officer with the industry and integrity of Judge Slaughter. I "mourned his passing" when he simply left the bench many years ago!

Today I learn of your loss and mourn his passing in...

It is with great sadness that my wife and I learned of the death of Judge Warren Slaughter. I have known and respected Judge Slaughter for over 20 years. My wife appeared in his courtroom in her first days as a Deputy District Attorney. Judge Slaughter set the standard of respect and procedure in the way he ran his courtroom, treated people and his outlook on life. He is the standard every attorney, judge and human being should strive for.
