The Closing Statement
Somebody has to be a lawyer at that table, and that lawyer’s name is on the paperwork, and the name on the bottom of my parents’ deed was Gerald J.
Lipinski, of Quincy.
I found him in about nine minutes.
He was eighty-one.
He had retired in 2016.
He had a listed telephone number and he picked it up on the fourth ring and said “Lipinski” as though he still had a practice.
I explained who I was.
I said the date.
