I remember Judge Ottaviano as a kind, consider and just person. Several years ago, he gave me my first opportunity to be a clerk in his coutroom. My prayers and sympathy go out to his family.

I was a young attorney when I first had contact with John Ottaviano, then sitting as a judge. I remember him as a willing listener and a friendly spirit. That was a few years ago. I'm 83 now.

He'll be missed.

I remember Judge Ottaviano from back to my earliest days as a lawyer, 27 years ago. He was well respected and will be missed. The family will be in our thoughts and prayers.

John Ottaviano was a "gentleman" in all ways. His calm, wit and stories will long be remembered and treasured. I was fortunate to be one the beneficiaries of his wisdom and guidance,as a National President of the OSIA from 2003-05. A true Son of Italy for almost 70 years, he will long be remembered. May he enjoy his heavenly rewards!
