The world is a less generous place. Less witty, too. It longs for the last of a dying breed, the gentleman lawyer. All because of the passing of Joseph G. Lynch of Halloran & Sage in Hartford on Sept. 10, at the age of 88.

If you met Joe long enough to have him press one of his humorous business cards (“Hot Air Balloon Pilot!”) into your palm, you knew Joe well enough to be invited to one of his all-comers breakfasts in Portland every Sunday morning. Wesleyan professors would mingle with legal adversaries, native Portlanders and University Club colleagues and belly up to Joe’s commercial-sized island. The host would take each order and whip up whatever your heart desired: waffles, pancakes, omelettes, sausages or toast.
