“earlier this month the U.S. Senate lost another member of its family. Gerard Lougee passed away on January 6th at the Washington Hospital Center. Gerard worked in the Senate post office as a mail carrier for the past eighteen years. He was a graduate of Cardoza High School and attended the National Presbyterian Church in Washington D.C. He began work in the Senate in 1982 after working in the White House mail room. During his career in the Senate post office Gerard was recognized for his perfect attendance record, as well as numerous other performance awards. Many of our Senate staff will remember Gerard as he traveled the corridors of Congress delivering the mail with diligence and pride. He will be sorely missed not only by his mail room colleagues but by all of the Senate family. On behalf of the Senate I thank Gerard for his service and dedication and express our condolences to his family.”
