Steve Cozzi Moment of Silence Gathering of the Legal Community and Support for Family (see donation link at bottom of post)

The St. Petersburg Association (SPBA) members and leadership are devastated and deeply saddened to learn of the news of fellow bar member, Steve Cozzi. Steve was an energetic, engaged member of the St. Petersburg Bar Association (SPBA) and our legal community. He was a valued leader within the SPBA serving as both the Diversity Committee Chair and a member of the Paraclete Magazine Committee. Always quick with a joke or an uplifting smile, his presence was dynamic, energetic, and delightful. We continue to pray for all those who were close to Steve – both personally and professionally. Steve, through his presence and endeavors, contributed to the betterment of our legal profession and the St. Pete Bar. We will miss him dearly.

The SPBA invites the legal community to gather to support one another and Steve’s family as we hold Steve in our hearts, thoughts, and prayers in a moment of silence. The informal gathering will be held Wednesday, March 29th at 5:30pm at the outdoor “Face the Jury” (red chairs art installation) located at the St. Petersburg Courthouse. Those present at the moment of silence are invited to meet at Trophy Fish following the gathering to further support one another during this difficult time.
