A Bangor lawyer was honored for the way he treats everyone with kindness — traits similar to those of his late mentor, Marvin Glazier.
C. Peter Bos received the first Marvin Glazier Award at the Penobscot Judicial Center on Monday. The award is named after Glazier, a well-known lawyer who died in 2017, who was “the ultimate professional” and “gracious and respectful,” numerous lawyers said at the time of his death.
The award, organized by the judicial marshals at the Penobscot Judicial Center, is to honor people who embody Glazier and don’t get recognition they deserve, Sgt. Doug Tibbetts said.
“It reflects how you deal with people and how you generally treat everybody with such kindness and fairness,” Tibbetts said. “We see that and we appreciate that.”
Bos did not know he would be receiving the award. He said he was “tickled and honored.”
“Marvin was such a mentor to me,” Bos said. “He guided me through a lot of issues. He was everything an attorney should be.”
When the marshals called Glazier’s widow, Sheri Glazier, to ask if they could use his name for an award, she said she got teary eyed.
“I knew what he meant to everybody that he worked with,” Sheri Glazier said.
Win or lose a case, Bos keeps his cool and never raises his voice, similar to Glazier, Tibbetts said. It’s why the marshals voted to give Bos the award.
The goal is to make the Marvin Glazier Award a yearly award, Tibbetts said.
