I am saddened to learn of the passing of former Congressman Bill Clinger. He was a statesman, scholar, and passionate advocate for the people of Pennsylvania. I have a fond memory of meeting with Bill. He was gracious enough to invite me to his home, where we sat and talked all things Pennsylvania for hours. That experience will stay with me for my lifetime, I am grateful to have met Bill Clinger. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and loved ones as they mourn his loss."
