This progressive had the honor of leading a celebration of Congressman Kolbe's life with his family and friends at a brunch following his Saturday memorial service on Sunday.
Thank you for sharing these observations about Jim Kolbe. Folks here in Southern Arizona always appreciated this wonderful public servant - your remembrance will ensure others know about/learn from him as well. My condolences to Hector, other family members and his friends.
This progressive was proud to work on his finance committee for multiple campaigns. I can remember being at an R fundraiser (I went to both sides to get o know any and all candidates as human beings) for someone who wanted to be his successor, during Gabby’s first campaign. One of Tucson’s leading Rs said he would like to break Kolbe’s legs for supporting Gabby, which he was quietly doing. Such a lovely man no matter how others treated him.
Brought a tear to my eye. I remember meeting him and his husband at one of your epic Boxing Day parties. Friendly, kind, warm. That’s how I remember him. ♥️
