As I've always said, "Judge Maiocco led by example". Second to none. If every person in this world lived the way he did, this would be a much different and better place. Honest, straightforward, full of love, and very kind with a terrific sense of humor. Thank you for being in my life, Judge Maiocco! I am a better person because of it. My love and condolences to the beautiful family you made! I love you all. You are my family.
