Senator Mark Pryor on Inouye's death

Today I join my Senate colleagues in mourning the loss of our good friend and colleague, Senator Daniel Inouye. Dan dedicated eight decades of his life to public service, earning a reputation as a leader in his state and in the Senate. While serving together, I looked up to Dan with admiration and respect. He was not only a reliable partner in the Senate, but a thoughtful friend and confidante. Dan was—and is—a role model to all. His willingness to compromise, reach across the aisle, and put the interest of his state before the party was unmatched. Dan will be forever remembered as one of the Senate’s greats. Please join me in sending thoughts and prayers to Senator Inouye’s family and loved ones during this difficult time.
