I was sorry to learn that The Honorable David J. Mahoney died over the weekend. If there was ever a judge that deserved the honorific "honorable" it was Judge Mahoney, who was liked by everyone, and who, throughout his career on the bench and at the bar, worked to diminish conflict rather than foster it. He had a solid temperament, and a gentle sense of humor, qualities that are rare enough in the world at large, and rarer still in our glamor profession. I will miss the way he used to defuse contention, and I will miss the cartoons he did for the Erie County Bar Journal. He was the embodiment of honorable.
