• W276644002 abstract "AUSTIN STAKE CENTER AUSTIN, TEXAS It is an honor to be asked to talk today about Greg Coleman, and I thank Stephanie for having invited me to do so. The relationship between judges and law clerks can be very special. Not only is it our privilege to receive assistance from the best and brightest young law students, but, through their success and achievements in their professional lives, we have an opportunity to influence the future. Good law clerks become our friends, our companions and our comrades in shared belief. They are part of our family. Greg one of the best clerks I have worked with and one of the most distinguished lawyers following his clerkship. He one of the best in every way. On this type of sad occasion, the question always arises why God chose to take Greg home so soon? I have pondered this today and at other times. We, of course, will never know the full answer in this world, but a friend pointed me to a passage in the Book of Genesis that may provide a clue to God's design, especially for someone like Greg. In Genesis 5:24, it is said that Enoch, who lived in the generations following Adam, was walking with God, and he not, for God took him.1 The same language is used of the prophet Elijah, who the Bible says translated directly to Heaven without first undergoing death.2 These men loved God and were favored by Him accordingly. And so one may conclude that God takes us when He is ready - and when He knows in His wisdom that we are ready to be in His company. Greg ready to go home to the Lord, but he will remain vivid in our memories as long as we live. While remembering an 18-year long friendship with Greg, I thought of life as a book in which the pages turn and, as events unfold, we create bookmarks in our memory for people, places and actions that are of great significance. To pay tribute to Greg, I have turned to some of these bookmarks that reveal his extraordinary qualities of intellect, modesty, diligence and love of his family and his fellow man. The bookmarks start with his clerkship in my chambers in 1992-93. He came to his clerkship with a record of high academic accomplishment as an honors graduate of the University of Texas School of Law and Texas A&M undergraduate and MBA programs. More than that, however, represented on his resume, which quite long for a law school graduate. He listed numerous community service activities, including a two-year mission for the Mormon Church in Japan, volunteering at a local food bank, and volunteering as a high school track coach. From his early years, Greg had sought to serve others. He linked personal accomplishment with community service. Greg deeply involved in his church and youth and charitable activities for the rest of his life. During the clerkship, he an unusually hard worker. I remember his helping me out with extra, non- glamorous projects while I on a family vacation. He did this although not asked by me just to assist in the disposition of our very heavy caseload. He arrived at the office early, a practice uncommon among the clerks who are often young, unmarried and less disciplined in their habits. Most clerks also find the demands of a clerkship fully consuming professionally, but not Greg. Greg exceeded the confines of the clerkship when he took a position as an adjunct professor at South Texas College of Law to better support Stephanie and their young family. His class so popular that seventy students signed up for his teaching the following semester. Characteristically, during his clerkship he volunteered regularly with a teenage youth group and even subsidized their scuba diving trip with his own money. Despite these commitments, Greg left work in time to be with his family. When Greg and Stephanie came to our house for a clerks' dinner, the boys were always invited. Chase and Austin were then toddlers, and they loved playing with guns and Star Wars toys that we had stored in a cabinet after our boys outgrew them. …" @default.
