Steve was a remarkable man, someone who I got to know when I came to Washington. I served with him for 9 years, admired him, admired his honesty and his judgment, his dedication. He is one of those many Members who comes here and who does not come here for the glory. He comes here for the service to the country, and he provided it in an exemplary way. As I was coming into the Capitol and I looked up and I saw the flag at half-staff, and I thought what a tribute that is to him, how proud he would have been, how proud his family must be of him, how proud his State is of the service that he provided, how proud his friends must be of the service that he provided.
