'Life Has Lost Its Lion' -- Pence Statement on Death of Hon. Henry Hyde

Contact: Matt Lloyd, Congressman Mike Pence, 202-226-4379

 

WASHINGTON, Nov. 29 /Standard Newswire/ -- Congressman Mike Pence released the following statement today on the death of former Congressman Henry Hyde of Illinois. Pence served on the House International Relations Committee and the Judiciary Committee with Hyde. In 2006, Pence authored legislation that named the Foreign Affairs room in the U.S. Capitol after Henry Hyde.

 

"Henry Hyde was the essence of dignity, civility, commitment to principle, and he has been a lion of the right to life. Life has lost its lion and this world will miss his roar.

 

"Throughout his years in public service, he was a champion for great causes – life, liberty and the rule of law. He was a voice for the voiceless – for the victims of human rights abuses around the world and for the unborn child here at home.

 

"He was my friend and mentor and I will miss him greatly. In my heart I know that this day Henry Hyde heard the words, 'well done, good and faithful servant' and was greeted by 'a chorus of voices never heard in this world.'                    

 

"Thank God for Henry Hyde.  His work and his example will inspire generations of Americans."
