Tribute to Nicholas DeWitt, Esq.
Nick was a friend of ACR-Hawaii and a valued member of our Board since 2008, having served as treasurer in 2009 and 2010. Chuck Hurd, friend and fellow board member recalls meeting Nick at a social event a few years ago and “immediately recognized him as a kindred soul, a brother lawyer, who had wanted to grow beyond the boundaries of the profession and who sought to keep growing and evolving into a better human being. He worked as an arbitrator, expert witness and mediator to try and bring a fair and just result to one case at a time. Nick’s legacy is that he left an imprint on many people to believe that it is possible and even a personal calling to do the fair and just thing in this world.” Nick was a fine man and human being who touched the lives of everyone he met and he will be greatly missed.
