Wishing The Best For Judge Durby

Wednesday, October 03, 2012

It has been a pleasure to work on the Judicial floor of the Courthouse with Judge Ron Durby. His personality and conduct has radiated through our hallways. He has been an astute, caring judge.

I have also attended Red Bank Baptist Church with Ron for many years. He is a man of faith and has had many different positions in our church including the position of deacon.

I wish Ron and his wife Vicka and their family the best in his retirement.
