Judge Eugene Strassburger “did what was right — always,” said Pennsylvania Supreme Court Chief Justice Max Baer.
“His writing was brilliant and his thinking was brilliant, and yet he was very much a man of the people,” Baer told the Chronicle. “He was a supporter of women, back when it wasn’t popular. Gene was a fierce supporter of them and a fierce supporter of the LGBT community.
“I hold him in the greatest regard,” Baer added. “I think I’m good at what I do, and Gene is part of the reason for that.”
