I first met Jim and Rick in 1973 when they were rookie misdemeanor prosecutors at the State Attorney’s Office in Sarasota, where they sometimes practiced in front of my dad. Ed was so impressed with the both of them that he and Margaret used to include and invite them to the judges parties at our house. Later on I did two tours of duty in the Bradenton office with Jim as my supervisor and leader--NO question he was the best at both. Old friend, great boss, brilliant lawyer who made all of us better people----I echo the tribute that we have lost the heart and soul of the fighting 12th.
