“I had the honor of serving alongside Senator Henry McNamara for more than three decades. As a colleague, Hank always led by example. He was the architect of monumental environmental legislation, and a compassionate voice for his constituents. As a friend, I got to see firsthand what a wonderful, kind man he was. I am truly grateful. My thoughts and prayers are with his wife, Joan, and his family during this difficult time.”
