Judge Griffin Bell, RIP
Griffin Bell was a truly great man, and he will be dearly missed by his family and friends.
I was fortunate enough to meet and interview Judge Bell while working on an essay about his tenure on the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, which you can read here. I cannot even begin to describe what a generous and warm person he was during our brief time together. Indeed, one of the greatest compliments I’ve ever received about my writing was from Judge Bell, who loved the essay I had written about him.
The United States has lost a great patriot, and the South has lost one of her modern-day heroes.
Please take a moment today to say a prayer for Judge Bell’s family and friends.
God Bless you Judge Bell. Requiescat in pace.
