Sen. Bill Brady responds to death of former Sen. Bob Madigan

Send a link to a friend

Dear Editor:

It was with great sadness that the citizens of Illinois learned of the death of former state Sen. Bob Madigan on May 4. [Obituary]

Born and raised in central Illinois, Bob knew the priorities of the people he represented -- as Lincoln city clerk and as state senator -- because he was one of them. He worked hard. He was a gentleman. He knew his own mind, but his word was gold. He was a quiet man, but had a sharp, quick wit and sense of humor.

[to top of second column in this letter]

What is the measure of a man's life? For Bob Madigan, it was family, friends and a commitment to the greater good.

Illinois is a better place for his public service. He will be missed.

Sincerely,

Bill Brady
State senator
44th District

(Posted May 19, 2006)
