Cole Comments on the Death of Former Congressman Clem McSpadden
WASHINGTON - U.S. Congressman Tom Cole (OK-04) gave the following comments today after receiving the news that Former Congressman Clem McSpadden had passed away.
"Oklahoma lost a true cowboy today," Congressman Cole said. "Clem McSpadden epitomized the very best of Oklahoma throughout his life - he was enormously accomplished yet humble, dedicated to his work, his family, and his nation and deeply committed to the state of Oklahoma and her citizens."
"He served our state and our nation in a variety of capacities, including the U.S. Navy in World War II, the Oklahoma State Senate and the U.S. Congress. Oklahoma has lost an icon. But more importantly, every Oklahoman has lost a friend."
