Missouri Democratic Party: Skelton was a statesman and a champion

(From the Missouri Democratic Party)

Missouri Democratic Party Chairman Roy Temple issued the following statement on the passing of Congressman Ike Skelton:

“He was a Missourian, a statesman and a champion of a strong and sensible national defense. And above all, he was a gentleman. His love of and faith in America was unshakable and his support for the U.S. military was second to none. This is a loss for Missouri and the nation. We extend our sincerest sympathy to his family.
