This week, one of the best and most varied of legal minds,
and a person of great personal integrity left his family and friends behind.
Although I knew Dan
Soriano only professionally while I served on the Bridgewater-Raritan Board
of Education, it was there that I became acquainted not merely with his
all-encompassing skills as one of the most expert of legal minds in the field
of education law, but also the integrity with which he exhibited and practiced
those skills.
Dan did not simply advise the board and the administration on
what it wanted to hear, but what it needed to hear. I’ll always remember a case that he should
have walked away from and which he did.
His judgment was impeccable.
That is a rare trait in an attorney and it is worth gold,
yet it is one that money can’t buy. He
blessed the board with his character and advice for 30 years until 2005.
It is not unusual for small towns like Raritan to produce outstanding people. Dan Soriano is one of them.
