But still with the breeze fluttering his wings. i said harry, what happened? did you go hunting and accidentally shoot a bald eagle, an endangered species? he said no. he flew in to a live wire, so i call him sparky. i said okay, well, except it s then sparky. but with his permission, and appropriately, we have named him harry. sparky flew from the leader s office to the speaker s office, now harry. as we know, before harry entered the political arena, he could hold his own in the boxing ring. so it is fitting to close, i think, by quoting mohammed allie. he said, impossible is not a ....
It s a month s subscription to netflix. i didn t have iris didn t have the heart to tell him we had subscribed for four years already. clearly harry wasn t big on new technology. he didn t text. he didn t mail. and as you know, whenever he called you, he d hang up the phone so quickly, you d think he was allergic to telecommunications. but what harry was allergic to was the artifice of politics. he considered it a distraction from his true passion, getting good things done in this capitol. harry never forgot where he came from, nor did he forget the people. his childhood friends and neighbors who just like harry early on, struggled to get by, and he kept up with so many of them. we remember hearing all the stories. in harry s view, the government had a moral obligation to see to it that these people had every opportunity to secure a better life for themselves and their ....

Loss and gratitude are immense. i got to know harry when i came to the senate in 1999. we couldn t have been more different. there was me, a brash jewish kid out of brooklyn, and there was harry, a soft spoken mormon from searchlight. we were a match made in heaven. i quickly learned that even though harry talked softly, what he said carried the force of thunder. he was honest. he was direct. and he was original. i love the story back in 2012. during the democratic national convention in charlotte, harry summoned me to his hotel room late one night. i rushed over and saw landra in the room, but before i could say anything, harry pulled me aside into the small little bathroom. we were right on top of each other. ....
To their children, all of whom and his grandchildren, all of whom he was very, very proud. on saturday we gathered in nevada for a celebration of harry s life. listening to the leadership of his church, and the adoring comments of his children, it is clear that harry s strength sprang from his faith and his family. and his patriotism springs from his love of our country and his commitment to its future. it is fitting that we pay final tribute to harry here in the united states capitol. it is here he stood as he worked his way through law ....
