Letter to the Editor: Justice Patrick J. Venetz: Court service has bettered his community, family and himself

To the Editor,

I have known Patrick J. Venetz for my whole life. I will be the first to tell you, he is a man of honor, integrity and is always true to his word. This is just a little thing I wrote in response to the race for the Town of Webb Town Justice position.

Patrick J. Venetz:

A father.

A husband.

A friend.

A neighbor.

A business owner.

A true man.

A concerned citizen.

My father has served the Old Forge community for the last 12 years, but in so many more ways than anyone could know.

When I think of my dad, he and the court go hand in hand. I can’t imagine him being home on Tuesday evenings or during the days on District Attorney day, because I grew up with him being at court during those times.

I can remember all the way back to 1997, going out and posting little posters on telephone poles all through town that said, “Elect Patrick J. Venetz for Town of Webb Justice.”

To my dad, being judge isn’t just a job, it’s his lifestyle. It has helped him become a better person, and it’s also shaped me into choosing Criminal Justice as my major at Norwich.

My dad loves what he does. So, please, when you go into the voting booth, keep in mind… it’s not just a job on the line, it’s not just a chance to have more face to face interaction with people, it’s a lifestyle for a great man and his family.

Thank you all.

Sincerely,

Patrick H. Venetz, Old Forge and Northfield, VT
