Death of Rick Halberstein (10/29/18)

Richard ("Rick") Halberstein, a DOJ Tax alumni, who served in the Appellate Section according to my records, died on August 29, 2018.  His WAPO obituary, here (scroll down), is short, so I cut and paste it:

Richard Halberstein, 
lawyer 

Richard Halberstein, 75, a Washington lawyer and Capitol Hill neighborhood activist who was a founder and treasurer of the Capitol Hill Community Foundation, died Aug. 29 at his home in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. The cause was respiratory failure, said his wife, Leona Atkins. 

Mr. Halberstein was born in Marion, Ohio, and came to Washington in 1970. He was a tax lawyer with the Justice Department and the House Ways and Means Committee before opening a private law practice in 1976. His specialties included tax, probate, real estate, family law and services to small businesses and organizations. He was co-director of the Capitol Hill Free Tax Clinic. He retired and moved to Fort Lauderdale last year.

I have fond memories of Rick for the short period we overlapped in the Appellate Section.

Sorry for the late posting on this, but just received notice recentlty.
