Kaptur remarks on the passing of Congressman Alan Nunnelee
February 7, 2015
Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur issued the following statement in response to the tragic and untimely passing of Congressman Alan Nunnelee:
“Please allow me to express my deepest sympathy to Alan’s wife Tori, his children Emily, Nathan and Reed, as well as his many Mississippi constituents, dedicated staff, friends and associates. My heartfelt condolences on the passing of Congressman Alan Nunnelee from this life on behalf of the people of Ohio and our colleagues on our Appropriations subcommittee on Energy and Water.
Congress holds in highest esteem those individuals who remain true to the principle of liberty and to the duty of serving the people who elect them. Alan Nunnelee was one of those individuals. He worked for many years in the service of his constituents and made a difference in the lives of every person he touched.
His kind nature, good humor, and gentlemanly manner radiated as a constant, effervescent force and I am grateful to have had the privilege of serving alongside him.
May the angels lift his spirit and bring comfort to all those who grieve this deep loss. May the good works Alan did inspire others to carry on in beneficent tradition for years to come.”
