I don’t remember when I first met Judge Mordue but I got to know him best when I came to work at the federal building as a Court Security Officer. From the beginning the Judge made me feel like we were old friends. I came to find out he knew my dad when the Judge was in the DA’s office and my dad was a city cop as well as through golf. The Judge would talk to me about my career with the city and every time I worked his court he would always say Good morning Chief.
I had the pleasure of seeing the Judge and his lovely wife out to dinner at some local restaurants. He would always tell whoever I was with how proud of me he was and all that I accomplished in my career. This coming from a man that was so accomplished and decorated in everything he ever did in life was a true compliment. He was such a warm and welcoming person. Professionally he was beyond compare always through and just. I’m sure his family knows how special he was. He will be missed.
