On the recordMarch 13, 2003
the retirement of our Senate Chaplain, Lloyd Ogilvie, leaves me with a profound sense of loss. He has been a personal friend to me, as well as a wise counselor and adviser. I know I will miss him greatly. He has served the Senate with great distinction. His daily prayers were works of art and poetry, delivered in his deep rich voice, with conviction and a seriousness of purpose. He has warmed our hearts with his genuine concern for our spiritual well-being and reached out to touch the souls of staff members and Senate employees, as well, who sought his advice and his message of hope and reassurance. We have all been richly blessed by the presence and the ministry of Lloyd Ogilvie. Our thoughts and sincerest best wishes and our love go with him.
