“When given the opportunity to say something nice about Dan Coats, I didn't want to pass it up. If I could give one word to describe U.S. Senator Dan Coats, it would be ``Hoosier.'' He is a person of grace and humility, hard work and humor. He never worried about who got credit, loved his country, and made the sacrifices through his life and career to make our country better. I am honored to call Dan a friend, and I appreciate his mentorship of our entire delegation in the time that I have had an opportunity to serve here. I suspect Dan's service for our country isn't quite over yet, and I look forward to whatever he does next. One of the other great things about Dan Coats is he is a family man. I certainly wish Dan, Marsha, and their entire family a great future.”
