Excerpts from obituary of noted Boston attorney and Boston Globe columnist Ron Wysocki:

A noted racontuer, he loved relating stories about the criminal and political figures he had covered for the Boston Globe and recounting tales of political battles won and lost for the purpose of keeping history alive and making a point. He ran a weekly card game out of his law office which he and his friends used as an excuse to get together and tell each other the legal and political news of the day. In later years, he attended the monthly ROMEO luncheon held at Doyle's in Dorchester where he and other retired opinion makers discussed the current political landscape. He enlivened all gatherings in which he participated.
