Dear members,
It is with a very heavy heart and great sadness that I tell you that our dear friend, colleague, and brother, Herb Kim, passed away unexpectedly yesterday in an accident.
Herb was a friend to many of us, always with a smile, a joke, and always full of kindness and loyalty.
He was also a true warrior- a fearless advocate from the time he was an Assistant Public Defender to his later work in private practice. He brought skill, zealousness, and even laughter to a trial, every time.
If you had the good fortune to know him, you know that the world was better with him in it. He will be missed, and he will be remembered with love, respect, and admiration.
Herb is on the left. His dear friend and colleague Marcos Quesada is in the center.
Herb was simply a great person. He was a superb lawyer and he was always happy, always smiling, always ready to pitch in and help.
Recently many of you know that a great attorney who does some work for RC3 was struck by a young driver who was texting, as he was out for a run. He ended up with a broken back, although he could have easily been killed.
Life is a gift. It is precious. Let us take time from our busy days and remember that life is all too fleeting and we need to enjoy each day for all that it can offer us.
Rest in Peace Herb, you will be always remembered, and deeply missed.
