In Memoriam

It is with great sadness that we report the passing of two of our most esteemed members: Robert V. Fullerton on June 17, 2009, and D. Elliott Whitlock on June 19, 2009.

Both gentlemen were recipients of the Bar Association's John B. Surr Award. Mr. Whitlock served as Bar President in 1972-73.

You may read about these respected past leaders of the San Bernardino legal community in our the July-August Bulletin by clicking here.

We will report details on memorial services as we receive them.
