Ohio lost a good one today...

Juvenile Court Judge Peter Sikora and recent candidate for the Ohio Supreme Court passed away early this afternoon.

He was a friend to me and gave me a chance to stay in the political game when my health deteriorated.

We were a pair, he paralyzed in more than half his body and confined to a wheel chair and me lugging Oxygen tanks around.

He never wanted anyone to treat him special because of his affliction and demanded to be heard.

Peace be with you Peter.

A great, true Democrat. He was authentic ...a pleasure to see at political gatherings. I shall miss him.
My condolences to his family and to you WC Green.
