Judge William H. Wolff, Jr. retiring
Twenty nine judges will retire by early this year. Among them is Judge William H. Wolff Jr., who will retire from the Second District Court of Appeals on Jan. 31. He has said he won’t ride off into the sunset just yet with plans to try mediation and arbitration work. He’s also open to accepting assignments to trial and appellate courts. As for his other numerous interests, Judge Wolff said he’ll have more time to devote to fly fishing, skiing, hiking, cooking, gardening and out-of-state children and grandchildren.
Just like Judge Wolff, More than half of the retiring judges served on the bench for at least 20 years, either in their current posts or in combination with past service as municipal court judges. Their successors were all chosen in the Nov. 4 election.
Judge Wolff offered this advice to new judges: “I suggest you work hard, don’t forget what it’s like to be a practicing lawyer, don’t take yourself too seriously, and strive for excellence, not perfection. Excellence is expected and attainable; perfection is not.” He praised his successor, Judge Jeffrey Froelich, as a distinguished trial judge who enjoys the respect and confidence of the judges he will join. He said he has no doubt that Judge Froelich will make a seamless and effortless transition to the court of appeals.
A member of the appeals court since 1985, Judge Wolff also praised his colleagues, also praised his colleagues, past and present, on the court of appeals. “I couldn’t have hand-picked better people to work with.”
“I have truly enjoyed the work of judging,” Judge Wolff said. “I have countless fond memories of the people I’ve met and worked with over the years, first as a trial judge and more recently as an appellate judge. I have been blessed with outstanding staff attorneys and with solid staff support. I have, for the most part, enjoyed a good working relationship with the bar. I found that if I respected the job the lawyers had to do, the lawyers respected the job I had to do.”

Scouting news____________________________
Patrick Murphy awarded Eagle Scout rank
Oakwood Boy Scout Patrick Murphy was awarded the rank of Eagle Scout on Sunday, January 4, 2009 in a Court of Honor ceremony at South Park United Methodist Church. Murphy, 18, is a member of Boy Scout Troop 320 and the son of Steve and Kathy Murphy.
Murphy’s Eagle project involved the design and installation of a drainage system for the playground at First Baptist Church in downtown Dayton. The highlight of the project was being surrounded by twenty excited preschoolers eagerly watching their playground being transformed from a flood zone into a usable space. Together with mentors Dwight Mattlock, Tom McClury and Jim Wuebker, and a great crew of volunteers, 77 man-hours were spent planning and carrying out the project.
Murphy’s scouting career included tenures in Troop 514 (Medina, Ohio), Troop 236 (Kettering), and Troop 320 (Oakwood), each of which contributed significantly to his scouting experience. A trip to the Double-H High Adventure Ranch in New Mexico, the counterpart to Philmont, was the ultimate test of his wilderness survival skills and a pinnacle event. Murphy’s first aid skills have been put to the test at college, where he recently handled the paper cutter partial amputation of a friend’s thumb with the cool calm and emergency preparedness expertise learned in scouting.
Now a freshman at Case Western Reserve University, Murphy is studying electrical and mechanical engineering, with a career in robotics as the end goal.
