From the San Juan County Prosecutor’s Office
The sudden death of Judge John Linde was felt hard at the San Juan County Prosecutor’s Office reported Prosecuting Attorney Randall K. Gaylord. “The legal community is small and we know each other well. We are shocked and saddened by this unexpected turn of events,” said Gaylord.
This is a loss to the family, the entire county and to the legal system. “It was great to have Judge Linde back at the courthouse every day for the past two years as a full time superior court judge,” said Gaylord. “In these uncertain times, Judge Linde was a rock. When he spoke, people listened. We will miss him greatly.
“Our thoughts and hearts go out to John’s family, and especially to Carol and his children,” said Gaylord.
