As an attorney, I appeared before Judge Bork hundreds of times and he was one of the most decent and caring people I had the privilege to meet. I fondly remember the times he and Norma would be at Perimeter Mall food court getting a Dairy Queen ice cream. He will be fondly remembered by all!

Judge Bork was one of the most kind and understanding judges I ever had the privilege of appearing before. Both he and Judge Borowiec were the kind of judge that others should aspire to be. May his memory be for a blessing.

I was Judge Bork's hearing assistant for many years with the Social Security Administration. During those years, my husband was on kidney dialysis at home. Not only did Judge Bork very kindly tolerate my inconvenient absences from work prompted by my husband's illness, he facilitated my career in more ways than I can detail. Mrs. Bork often accompanied us on trips for hearings and she was a delight. Judge Bork was a special person and will live in the hearts of everyone who knew him.
