Representative Edolphus Towns' Statement on
The Passing of Former Congressman Paul Gillmor
 

Washington, DC - I am deeply saddened by the passing of former U.S. Representative Paul Gillmor.  Paul was a guy who had no problem with working from both sides of the aisle particularly if it was for the purpose of moving important legislation forward.  He was more concerned about people than he was about politics. 

Paul was a workhorse who stayed on the job because he enjoyed being in the U.S. House.  An independently wealthy man, he continued to labor on behalf of his constituents in Ohio in spite of his wealth.  Paul was such a cordial man and he will truly be missed.
