Andrew G. Bucaro

I will try to make this entry as short as possible and to the point. I never knew or met Judge Andrew Bucaro until I was 17 years old in the mid 1960's. Several of my friends and I were arrested for theft and possession of (2) fire extinguishers which we had attained from a Hotel in the Gentilly area of New Orleans. We had gone before him in court and he had us put in the "Tank" with a bunch of drunks that had scared us to death. It was only several hours in this horrible tank but it was enough that I swore if I got out of this situation, I would never get into trouble again. We were given a suspended sentence and was advised by him that if we went before him again there would be no leniency. He seemed like a person who didn't take advantage of people but just gave them a chance to straighten themselves out. This was the first time I had gotten in trouble with the law and it was the last. I must say he was firm but gave us a chance and also scared me to death. Today I am retired, I am 57 years old, been married for over 37 years and have two children, one son 26 years old and a daughter 29 years old, and have never gotten in trouble with the law again. I know for sure that Judge Andrew Bucaro made me see the light and gave me that chance to keep my life straight, and for that I will never forget him. Thanks to Mr. Bucaro for caring for people, Thanks J.C. Seguin, Slidell, Louisiana

To Inez And family,



I remember the Judge when I first practiced law. HE was a person who took great pride in his work and was a terrific representative of the judiciary. He will be sorely missed by all.



With sympathy,

Judge David S. Gorbaty

4th Circuit Court of Appeal

I offer my compassion to each of you on the death of your father Andrew. I remember him as the husband of Inez and the cousin of Robert Joseph Martin, married to my sister Lessie Nixon Martin.



While 80 years is a long life, we are seldom prepared to loose our parents.



Sincerely in Christ,



Joyce Nixon

To Inez and her Family:



With sincere sympathy and condolences I write this note to tell you that you are being thought of and kept in my prayers during your time of loss.
