“I do not think I have met a nicer individual in my entire life than Amo. Amo was one of the richest men in Congress, if not the richest; and you would never know it. He was such a humble person. He was such a good person and a kind person and always had a good word, always had a smile, always did what was right. A couple of times I was paired to supposedly debate him on national TV, and both times it really turned into a lovefest because we agreed on so many of the issues and so many of the things, that it almost seemed as if we had staged the event. But indeed because Amo was such a good person, it was so easy to agree with him and so easy to do things for him. It is very, very nice to have things named after you when you are still around to see them. And I am so happy that we are doing this so Amo understands just a small little bit of how well thought of he is and how much we care about him.”
