In praise of elderly Jewish gentlemen who happen to have law degrees
We’re delving into the archives here, and I’ve no idea if Uncle Sid remains among the living, but thirteen years ago he made enough of an impression that I wrote about him.
********************
First of all, Sid ain’t my uncle.
I don’t think, technically speaking, he’s even an “uncle” to the Farm Manager. Maybe a second cousin once removed or something.
Anyway, I ran into Sid at the family get-together about a month back.
Usually I only run into Sid at family funerals.
So I grabbed Sid’s hand for a good old farm-style handshake, “hey good to see ya Sid… I only see you at funerals!”
I should mention that Sid is 87 years old. Still goes to his office at his law practice every day. Still got all his marbles, and they’re all rolling in the right direction.
I think he does real estate law mostly. You can probably do that till you’re 150. After all, what can go wrong? The title searchers do the title search. The lien checkers check for liens. The legal secretaries and assorted unpaid interns do the rest.
When all those folks have done all your work, you give it the stamp of approval and off you go!
Now that’s just a general rant about real estate lawyers. I don’t mean for a moment to suggest that’s how Sid rolls.
But Sid is one savvy dude. When I mentioned about only seeing him at family funerals he rejoinders, without a moment of hesitation, “ya I know! Everybody I know is dead!”
What a great guy to have a beer with!
Here’s to ya, Sid!
