Michael E. Reidy: 1918-2009
Michael E. Reidy, Esq.
August 5, 1918 – April 12, 2009
It is with great sorrow that we announce that Mike Reidy, our benevolent friend, mentor, and colleague, passed away, fittingly, on Easter Sunday. His smile, good-natured humor, life experience, and incredible depth of knowledge on the law will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him – our firm, the Denver legal community as a whole, his family and friends, his Church, and the Diocese of Denver. Mike joined our predecessor firm Calkins, Kramer, Grimshaw & Harring in April of 1979, and remained a valuable source of legal advice and friendship right up until the end.
Mike was a very great man who touched us all and is irreplaceable in our hearts. We were privileged to know him and work with him, and we all learned a great deal from his fascinating anecdotes about the many historical real estate transactions he was involved in throughout the Denver area. Our “Mike Reidy Conference Room,” dedicated to him at a special firm luncheon held on his 90th birthday last August, will continue to serve as a quiet reminder of his many contributions to Grimshaw & Harring and all who knew him. Rest in Peace dear friend – we will miss you.
Mr. Reidy practiced law in Colorado for over sixty years, in the areas of real estate and finance. He was was born in West Mineral, Kansas on August 5, 1918, was admitted to the Colorado bar in 1943, and joined Calkins, Kramer, Grimshaw & Harring in April, 1979.
