Public Defense

It's a tragic story, deaths in vehicles alway are I suppose, but it really hits home when it happens to one of our own. Robert Hooker was the Public Defender of Pima County in Arizona. My condolences go out to his wife, family, friends and co-workers. I suspect that from what little I know about the man, in the few conversations we had, and from what I've picked up from newspapers, his loss will be felt far and wide.

His Memorial Service is scheduled to me held at the Tucson Convention Center Music Hall, 260 S. Church Ave, at 11:30 a.m. Monday (04/07/2008).
