He once said he loved Oregon more than life. That was not long before he passed away far too soon. He was a great man whose devotion to the preservation of our state knew no bounds. We will not see the likes of him again, but oh, how I'd love to find someone who could channel him. He did Republicans proud. I visited him when he lay in state in the Capitol Rotunda and couldn't help but cry. His legacy will live on to the benefit of Oregonians for all time to come. Or let us hope so!
