Statement by Deputy Attorney General Raymond P. Taffora Regarding the Death of Former Deputy Attorney General Mark E. Musolf

"I am deeply saddened to learn of the tragic death of my predecessor, former Deputy Attorney General Mark E. Musolf.

Mark's knowledge of the law and the mechanics of government, together with his unflappable demeanor, wise counsel and ready wit made him a role model of mine as a young lawyer and public official. Mark was a gentleman and gifted public servant. While we mourn his loss, I am comforted in the knowledge that the very best attributes of Mark live on in those with whom he so freely shared himself, his experience, and his talents.

I offer my condolences and sympathy to his wife Jocelyn as she grieves and recovers from her own injuries as the result of this tragic accident."
