Greg Hobbs

Gregory J. Hobbs Jr. 1944 – 2021

The water and law communities across the West are mourning the unexpected loss of Justice Gregory Hobbs who died peacefully on November 30 with his wife and children by his side. A master of water law and jurisprudence, Justice Hobbs’ interests were as deep and varied as the western waters he knew so well.  He was a mentor, a teacher, a storyteller, an explorer, a photographer and poet.  A Renaissance man with unparalleled joie de vivre who will be sorely missed.

Justice Hobbs was a long-time supporter and treasured advisor to the Center. In his honor, we have gathered remembrances from friends of Colorado Law who knew him best. We include several of his photographs and poems that those of us who were lucky enough to be on his email list all treasure.

We hope this brings you some joy as we remember a remarkable man.
