ANNUAL MEMORIAL SERVICE Continued from page 18 Samuel Seidler was then called upon to remember his father, the Judge I. Marshall Seidler. Judge Seidler was born and raised in Baltimore County. He attended Baltimore City College, the University of Maryland and the University of Maryland School of Law. He was married to his wife Leah for 55 years and they had three children; Samuel, Adam, and Shari. He had five grandchildren, who all called him “Pops,” and who gave him the greatest joy in life. He became a member of the Maryland Bar in 1959 and served on the bench in Baltimore County for fourteen years before his retirement in March of 2003. Thereafter, he served a part-time retired judge all over the state. On May 20, 2003, then County Executive James T. Smith declared that day to be Judge I. Marshall Seidler Day. Mr. Seidler spoke of how well loved and missed his father is. The assembled then joined in a moment of silence and reflection as they remembered Charles E. “Chuck” Brooks. That moment was followed by another moment of silence to remember Roland R. Bounds. Magistrate C. Theresa Beck provided some additional information about Mr. Bounds after the service. Roland Bounds was bar President in 1980 and is connected to two of the other BCBA members recognized at the memorial service.

Among the many awards he received was the MSBA David Hjortsberg Award in 1998 which recognized members’ efforts to enhance the profession. Ms. Howanski then called on Kenneth G. Macleay to speak on behalf of his father-in-law, Judge Frank E. Cicone. Judge Cicone was married to his wife Helen for almost six decades. They had three daughters and four grandsons. Judge Cicone was the last judge to have chambers in both the old courthouse and the new courthouse. He was the Administrative Judge from 1973 until sometime in the 1990s.
