WASHINGTON,
D.C. – “I am saddened today by the loss of Paul Simon, a decent and committed
man who dedicated his life to public service. I join the people of
Illinois and those around the country in offering my deepest condolences
to his family.
“Paul
Simon set the standard of integrity and decency for those who seek the
public trust. He always took the principled position, not the popular
one, and never wavered in his fight on behalf of ordinary Americans and
working families. And Paul Simon was a visionary who understood the
awesome and constructive role the United States can play around the globe.
He made us proud to call him our Senator.
“Paul
Simon has left behind ever-lasting contributions and magnificent accomplishments.
His legacy will live on forever. He was my friend and my mentor,
someone I emulated and learned from for many years. I am grateful
to have worked with Paul Simon. I will miss him dearly.” |
