From Ohio Governor Ted Strickland on the passing of Ohio Supreme Court Chief Justice Thomas Moyers who was just 70 years old and yet the longest-serving state court chief justice in the country:
I am saddened to learn of the passing of my friend and Ohio’s Chief Justice, Thomas Moyer. I was honored when Tom swore me in as governor. That was the beginning of a warm and close working relationship, the kind of mutually respectful relationship you always envision leaders of different branches of government having. But that was Tom: dignified, respectful, thoughtful and always concerned for the well-being of others. It was never about him. Tom unselfishly served the people of Ohio for so many years. I know he was very much looking forward to his retirement, but he loved what he did. In recent years, he was a leader and a partner in Ohio’s bipartisan efforts to fight foreclosure and to take a serious and comprehensive look at corrections reform. He spoke passionately and convincingly for reducing the influence of money in judicial elections.
Coincidentally, the chief justice who preceded Moyer and whom Moyer bested in the 1986 election, Frank D. Celebrezze, died last week.
