John Stassi of New Orleans died on 1/1/25. His obituary is here. The obit has this about his service with DOJ Tax:
He began his career as a trial lawyer in the Tax Division of the U.S. Department of Justice and engaged in private practice in New Orleans for more than 50 years.
My database indicates that he was a Trial Attorney in the General Litigation Section 1962-1963. (The dates and other information may be underinclusive, so if anyone has better information, let me know.)
