The Honorable Stanford Blake retired on 8/31/16 after 22 years of service and devotion to the people of Miami-Dade County, and will be missed by all at the Eleventh Judicial Circuit of Florida.

Eleventh Circuit judges and court staff held a retirement gathering for him later that day to share fond memories from the past two decades and tearfully wish him well on his next journey.
