“I wanted to start by thanking Wayne's family and the people of Utah for sharing him with us, citizens of the United States, Members of Congress, the many people who were touched by Wayne. Wayne was a wonderful husband, a wonderful father, a wonderful citizen and he gave so much because the people of Utah saw fit to send him to Congress to equip him with the knowledge that he used through the last minute of his life. Wayne was one of the most selfless people I had met who served in this body. He had a wonderful sense of humor, a very strong sense of conviction, and something that I really came to appreciate more in the most recent trip to the Middle East, just a certain genius about him, a remarkable level of insight into people, people of all kinds, people who never could have been in the same room with one another, on different sides of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, on different sides of other issues that separated us from countries like Syria and Saudi Arabia.”
