A tribute to Judge Joseph
Barron
Editor's Note: The
following is a letter to Judge Joseph A. Barron's son,
Joseph B. Barron. The
letter was written by a cousin, Pauline C. Sanchez of
California, after the Judge's death on Oct. 12. Barron thought it a
fitting tribute to his late father and wanted to share
it with World
readers.
Dear Joe,
You may or may not remember
me, but I seem to recall a boy called "Deedee" with a
dog, Pidgie, and a
little girl names Carol always tagging behind him. But
the warmest and best of
my Walsenburg recollections has to do with two wonderful
men, your father and mine. In many ways they were somewhat alike. They
were gentle and kind - the pure of heart. I respected and admired them. I
loved them both.
In the over seven years
that I worked for and with your father, I got to know
him well, and he was
like a second father to me. In my times of stress and
need I could always count on him -- as could so many other people. He
was consolation, compassion, encouragement and quiet strength-so many goo
things! His faults, if any, were never of the spirit.
You cannot possibly ever
know how much this generous man did for so many for so
little in return,
except perhaps the satisfaction one derives from helping
those in need. What he gave in great abundance was the gift of
himself to those less fortunate - the gift that comes from the soul. The
illiterates, the vulnerable and defenseless, the kids in
trouble, the poorest
of the poor (and there were so many of them) came to him
in droves - looking for
Senor Barron, "el Juez" ("The Judge") or just "Pepe," He
was not a politician's politician. The toothy fake smile and
glad-hand were completely foreign to him but he got elected time after time because
they knew who and what he was - honesty and trust - a rarity indeed - especially in
politics. They will feel his loss - very much.
The last time he came to
California, Alo and I took him to a small beach down by
Carmel and we had a
picnic on the sane. He was in very good spirits and
enjoyed himself immensely,
with all three of walking along the beach reminiscing
about a great many things.
So it is with the greatest
sadness and heavy heart that I say "hasta la vista" to
this unselfish and
honorable man. I shall miss not seeing him again.
Sincerely and with great
sympathy to you and your family from both Alo and
myself,
⁄s⁄ Pauline C. Sanchez
