On Wednesday, December 30, 2009, John Minnis of the Detroit Legal News wrote a nice article about the upcoming Kaye Tertzag Tribute Dinner (details about the event here). The article is entitled,"Kaye 'Chach' Tertzag, Purple Haze". Here are a couple of quotes from the article:
The world of golf has the coveted green jacket. The world of Detroit jurisprudence now has the coveted purple jacket in honor of the late Kaye “Chach” Tertzag.
The well-liked retired Wayne County Circuit judge, who died Wednesday, Feb. 4, 2009, at the age of 70 after a short battle with bile-duct cancer, is remembered for many things — his judicial skills, his legal acumen, his warm love and respect for his fellow man and his purple sport coat. In fact, one of the judge’s last wishes is that he not be laid out in his purple sport coat so that it could be left for posterity.
And:
Daughter Kara, an attorney with Ford Motor Co., is flattered by the tribute being paid to her father.
“I am so touched that so many people have expressed such an interest in honoring my father,” she said. “I am looking forward to giving a toast, as I did at his memorial, of hope and happiness, despite the sense of loss and sorrow we all feel from losing my Dad.
“I love the law, as he did, and I love our community, as he did. I can only hope to do his name justice in the upcoming years, with both my legal career, and my service to the community.”
