Crispin and I served as co-leaders of the Hogan Lovells white collar group for several years and then as colleagues when he took over leadership of the group. I will always remember him as generous, kind, and compassionate in a profession where those qualities stand out. He cared about how you were doing both inside and outside of work. We swapped stories about the challenges of raising teenagers and laughed about how sometimes will outstripped reason. He was quick; when I asked him if he was ready for the monastic life of leading the group, he quipped that he already had the tonsure. (In truth, I had to consult the dictionary.) Crispin did so much for so may, but he did so selflessly and with grace. In the Jewish religion, we say that you live on in the hearts and minds of those who love you and in the acts of goodness that you perform. By that measure, Crispin will live on for many, many years.
