Again, it has been a tremendous run with all the work that you have done. You have been a gentleman and a good friend. Something I learned from my dad from his 36 years in public service, and I will say it again on this floor. He said there is a difference between people who are politicians and public servants. He said a politician is a person who sees how much they can take from the people they represent for their own benefit, while a public servant sees how much they can give of themselves back to the people they represent. For what you have done for not only your constituents of your great State but also here in this body, we are going to miss you. So, Greg, and that is the first time I have ever used a first name on this floor, we are going to miss you. I am going to miss you, but we wish you all the best in the years to come.
