“I come to the floor today to pay tribute to this great Wyoming leader.

The Cowboy State and the Capitol are going to sorely miss Mike Enzi. He has truly supplemented his legacy as the trusted trail boss of the Wyoming congressional delegation, and it has been an incredible honor and a great privilege for my wife Bobbi and me to serve the people of Wyoming alongside Mike and his wife, Diana, who is with us today. Mike is truly a devoted family man, as well as a man of great and deep faith. In fact, Mike taught Sunday school over the decades. Many in the Wyoming faith community know that Mike's first Sunday schoolteacher in Thermopolis, WY, was my wife Bobbi's mother Jerry Brown. Jerry and her husband Bob, a World War II and Korean war veteran, both passed away this past year, and they had been married 70 years.
