Beatty Statement on the Passing of Former U.S. Senator John Glenn

Today, U.S. Congresswoman Joyce Beatty (OH-03) issued the following statement on the passing of former U.S. Senator John Glenn:

"A war hero, the first American in orbit, a revered and respected United States Senator—John Glenn did it all. Yet, at the same time he remained humble, gracious, and generous. He was the epitome of a true public servant. My heart aches for his beloved wife and my good friend, Annie, their children, John David and Carolyn Ann, and his entire family and friends. I will dearly miss Senator Glenn and the priceless moments we shared together. Ohio has lost a giant."
