To Friends, Family and Clients of Roxborough,
Pomerance & Nye:
On December 1, 2007, our friend and long time colleague, Damon
Ribakoff, passed away, succumbing to the toughest fight of his
legal career…cancer. For more than two years, Damon fought
this ugly disease in the same way he represented his
clients—with grace, dignity, pride and persistence.
For those who knew Damon, he cared about others far more than
he ever cared about himself. These words, however,
inadequately express the depth and measure of his character.
In an era of entitlement, Damon felt none. In a world of
selfishness, Damon would have none of that. His clients, his
family, and his friends always came first. To Damon, life was
pretty simple. You worked hard, you cared about those who
needed your help, you did your best, and you always made time
for those you loved and who loved you. We loved Damon.
Damon will be missed, but to make sure that his name and
memory will never be forgotten, his name will remain on our
firm letterhead so that his contributions to our firm and the
legal profession will forever be remembered.
Many of you have been touched by Damon’s kindness and
friendship, and have asked for information regarding a manner
in which to pay tribute to Damon. As many of you know, Damon’s
proudest accomplishment and the love of his life was his
daughter Alexis. In order to ensure that Alexis will enjoy the
same education as her dad, we have set up a college fund for
Alexis’ benefit. If you would like to make a contribution to
Alexis college fund, then we invite you to send a check to our
office made payable to the “Damon M. Ribakoff 2007 Revocable
Trust.” We will be certain that all funds received are
promptly deposited and immediately earmarked and credited to
Alexis’ college fund.
Roxborough, Pomerance & Nye
