Condolence: Although I never see you before, I have heard your story on a forum. Because of your kindness and justice, many people have come true their American Dream. As a asylee, I am grateful that I have met a judge as nice as you. I love this great country. I deeply understand that America will remain great because of the great judges like you. I wish you all the best in heaven. I will pray for you and your family.

Condolence: 我并不认识您，只是在一个网站看到很多人谈论到您，都说您是一个非常好的法官。作为一个政治庇护的移民我想来表达对您的尊敬！

Condolence: 谢谢你，mrace法官，依稀的记得2011年3月8号，你批准了我庇护案子，我现在已经是美国公民了，你给我的印象是个和蔼善良的人，让我实现了美国梦，谢谢你！

Condolence: The most smiling, pleasant judge I ever knew....

Condolence: Dear Judge Morce: I recalled an individual hearing back in 2014. It was already 11:50 AM when you finished your first case. My client's case was scheduled at 10:30 AM, and both my client and I thought we had no other choice but to accept an adjournment. However, you persuaded the DHS counsel to skip the lunch and insisted finishing our case. The moment we got the approval notice from you, it was almost 1 PM. Without even a bite or a sip, you continued with two cases in the afternoon. My client was so lucky because with your approval notice, her family could re-unite in the United States in the near future. When I stepped out of the federal plaza building, sat at McDonalds, and ordered a sandwich for my late lunch, I was wondering how you could go through the exhausting afternoon without taking any food or drink. I wish you hadn't worked so hard in order to make more people's American dream come true. You are one of the most-respected immigration judge. Sometimes when I walk by your courtroom, old memory of you brings me to tears. The court is never the same without you.

Condolence: I'm a employee at the immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza in Manhattan and I spoke with Judge Morace occasionally. I would usually talk about sports with him. I describe Judge Morace as a good man who always got along well with everyone that worked with him. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family. May he rest in peace.

Condolence: IJ Morace was the consummate gentleman- kind, generous, open, compassionate and honorable. He was my first master calendar judge when I began my career with former INS 2 decades ago. Those days were long but I always looked forward to them. He challenged me when I needed to be challenged...but was always kind and supportive. He left an indelible mark and will never be forgotten. Rest in peace, your Honor.

Condolence: Judge Morace was an excellent person and I feel privilege to have known him. He will be deeply miss. I'll be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

Condolence: It was an honor and a joy to have known such a kind and remarkable human being as Phil. He will be missed by all who knew him as well as for those whose lives were changed by his heartfelt and humane actions on the bench. May he rest in peace, he truly deserves to do so.

Condolence: I've known Judge Morace since 2000, when I was just starting out as a lawyer representing the former INS. He was the first Immigration Judge that I ever appeared before. Over my years with INS and later DHS/ICE, I appeared often with Judge Morace. I knew him to be a man of extreme intelligence, a great sense of humor, a true sense of caring about others and with a quiet humility. Judge Morace was one of the first Immigration Judges to support my application to become a judge. For that, I will be forever grateful. Although I didn't become an immigration judge, I am now an Administrative Law Judge with another federal agency. Not only am I deeply grateful to Judge Morace for assisting me along the way, but I also try as best as possible to emulate his judicial style every day that I preside over hearings. I am deeply saddened at the loss of such a wonderful human being and a first-class jurist. I'll be forever in Judge Morace's debt for all that taught me along the way. Rest in peace, your Honor...

Condolence: My Dear Judge Morace: if there is one word to describe you, I say it is this: UNFORGETTABLE...........going into your courtroom was always a pleasure.....your smile and your wit were ever present...26 Federal Plaza will never be the same without you...you are so, so missed.

Condolence: A commendable human being, whose decency made his a fine and fair judge. A true humanitarian, with courage to spare.

Condolence: Judge may you rest in peace. You did your good deed and God's work on earth - now he needed a good judge in heaven and he choose the best. You will be missed more than you can imagine. God bless you judge - God has taken the best May you rest in peace

Condolence: Judge Morace was well liked by all. He was always compassionate and caring to all who appeared before him. He will will be sorely missed by all who had known him. May His Soul Rest in Peace. May God give strength to his loved one to bear this great loss.

Condolence: This is to pay tribute to a wonderful man, and judge. He was an intellectual and a humble person. He was a fair and honest Judge. It was an honor to know him and it is with great regret that he passed away and that all I can do is write this tribute. with great affection and admiration, Christina Hall, Esq.

Condolence: Philip Morace was a kind, understanding and compassionate immigration judge. His kind demeanor, kind dealings with "respondents," and thoughtful decisions touched the lives of thousands of immigrants and many more of their future descendants. I always looked forward to appearing before Judge Morace, as I knew that my day would be touched by his sense of humor and compassion. I will miss him very much.

Condolence: So saddened to hear about Judge Morace's passing. He was a gentleman and a jurist. Kind, compassion, thoughtful and thorough is how I will always remember him. He will be missed, my condolences to his family...

Condolence: As a neighbor of Phil's my family and I are in shock at his passing. Phil always took the time to engage my children and our family and was genuinely interested in what they were up to. My deepest condolences go out to his family and we will remember Phil as a great human being, neighbor, and a great man who brought smiles to all of us. RIP Phil.

Condolence: I remember Phillip as a young attorney when he first came to work for me. Phil's dedication to his clients and the Law was unprecedented. His respect for those who came before him as a judge demonstrated his true love for his fellow man. While we will miss Phillip, we will long remember his compassion and we send our condolences to his family and pray that he be judged by the Lord as he so fairly judged those who appeared before him. May he rest in peace with the Lord.

Condolence: Dear Family and Friends of Judge Philip Morace: I write with profound sorrow over the loss of this wonderful person. He was a patient, respectful and compassionate judge, he and his kind words will be greatly missed by so many. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Condolence: The Honorable Philip Morace was entirely that. Honorable. He was thoughtful. He was kind. He was attentive. He was generous. He was fair and efficient. He was loving. All who have appeared before him are better for this experience. The World to me seems dimmed in his too-soon passing. But, the brightness he has shared during his life shall illuminate countless lives for generations to come. May God bless and watch over your family. Rest in peace.

Condolence: The Honorable Philip Morace was a remarkable man. As an attorney who appeared before him for many years, I remember his kindness and respect for all those who appeared before him and I also remember his judicial courage. He will be deeply missed.
