Founding Partner Morris Galen Passes Away
Tonkon Torp founding partner Morris Galen passed away on December 4, 2024, at the age of 97. An iconic, indefatigable attorney, he managed a legendary career for nearly 70 years. Up until the pandemic, even into his 90s, Galen still came daily into the office, still eager to get out, be busy, and keep an eye on the law firm he helped launch. Client Ronald Dodge, President & CEO of Hood River Distillers, said of Galen, “He was an exceptional negotiator and a defuser of tense moments. There was never a doubt that you were glad to have him on your side.”
