“Sadly this week the Senate has lost another member of our family. On Monday, Larry Harrison, a retired Senate staffer, passed away in Washington, DC. Before his retirement in June of 1997, Larry had over 36 years of Federal service. Most of my colleagues will remember Larry's hard work as a Chamber attendant. His dedication to the upkeep of the Chamber and the surrounding rooms will be remembered. On Tuesday evening, former Senator Bob Dole fondly remembered Larry during the Leader's Lecture Series. Like many of the support staff who work for this institution, Larry arrived at work long before the Senate convened and frequently left the Chamber long after adjournment. Many Senators will recall Larry's passion for golf. I certainly do. As a matter of fact, Larry was one of the founders of the 'Cloakroom Open.' This golf tournament was organized by Larry to enable many of the Senate staff who work around the Senate Chamber an opportunity to play a round of golf together. It was a chance for a little camaraderie without the discussion of party or politics.”
