U.S. Rep. Marcy Kaptur, D-Toledo area:
"He was a very adept political figure who was highly intelligent and a lawyer's lawyer. He was one of those members that had the capacity to reach across the aisle. He always had a smile and always had a good word. If I can pick one area where we accomplished something, it was trying to get resources allocated to the Great Lakes at the federal level. I would say he was a very rare talent. My deepest sympathies go to his family."
