My late father, Floyd V. Amoresano, was a truly extraordinary New Jersey business attorney and trial lawyer whose professional capabilities, dedication and reputation often prompted other attorneys to honor him as a "lawyer's lawyer", and inspired me, in turn, to try following in his formidable footsteps.
Unfortunately, cancer stole him from us when he was only 62, while I was still completing college at Fordham University in New York, and before he could share my joy over having been accepted to study the Law at Seton Hall University, the proud alma mater to so many of our fine lawyers and jurists here in New Jersey.
Today,

is not for me to say whether I possess even
a portion of my father's professional qualities.
It is only for me to say, with great pride

name, and am still moved, by the memory of
him, to keep trying....
