Leader McConnell Pays Tribute to Senator Orrin Hatch
December 12, 2018
‘We are sad to bid farewell to our artist-in-residence and his platinum records. To this former all-star missionary and LDS bishop who still practices what he preached. To this living example of the American dream at its most extraordinary. This Pittsburgh fighter who climbed up from working poverty and became ‘The Gentleman of the Senate’ -- where he dedicated his work to strengthening that ladder for the generations that would follow. Orrin has been so generous to his colleagues, to this institution, to the state and the nation he’s served.’
