The family of Chicago's legendary lawyer and Illinois Appellate Court Judge R. Eugene Pincham, is requesting that those wishing to express their condolences and sentiments make donations to the Alzata C. Pincham Scholarship Fund.
"Instead of flowers, we are requesting donations be made to my mother's scholarship fund; it's something my father wanted," said Robert E. Jr., the late judge's son.
Judge Pincham's wife Alzata preceded him in death in 2005.
The couple met and dated for four years while attending Tennessee State University. They were married for 57 years.
Donations can be made directly to the Alzata C. Pincham Scholarship Fund at Trinity United Church of Christ, 400 West 95th Street, Chicago, 60628.
Funeral service for R. Eugene Pincham is set for Saturday, April 12. Visitation is scheduled for 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. with service to follow at Trinity United Church of Christ.
Retired Appellate Court Justice Eugene R. Pincham passed away Thursday morning after a battle with lung cancer.
