Fox News just announced Henry Hyde has passed away.

[Brytani]

God Bless.

[kittymyrib]

May this staunch warrior for the right to life of the unborn rest in peace.

[11th_VA]

Never will be another one like him in my lifetime - God Bless the man.

[Ann Archy]

He was a good and decent man....prayers.

[BibChr]

I do hope God blessed Hyde with repentant, saving faith in Christ while he lived. His speech during The Nameless One’s impeachment was stirring; I doubt I’ll forget it. And the Hyde Amendment was a great legacy to leave.

[freedomson]

He earned his legacy.

He stood nearly alone in the breach.

R.I.P.

[lapster]

How sad. He stood up against the Clinton slime machine and paid dearly. But, nonetheless, he stood. May God rest his soul.

[Just mythoughts]

Aw, all I know about him, he was a good and worthy servant. Prayers for Comfort and Strength for his family and friends.

[Guenevere]

God bless this man....a truly honorable and decent human being.
He was a warrior...a defender of the unborn.
.....May he be in the arms of Jesus now.

[AppyPappy]

I remember seeing him in the hallway during the Impeachment Dinner. He looked as though he would rather be anywhere but there. He was also a victim of Hillary’s FBI files.

[TomServo]

I’m sure Alec Baldwin is doing a dance right about now.

[sr4402]

Condolences to his Family. His work on fighting for the unborn will be remembered.

“I’m sure Alec Baldwin is doing a dance right about now.”

He was on the side throwing stones. Or was he in France?

[Ladysmith]

RIP, Mr. Hyde.

[tiki]

May God rest his soul.

[Halls]

God rest his soul.

[pbear8]

Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine; et lux perpetua luceat eis.

May his soul and the souls of the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace.

[OneLoyalAmerican]

Henry Hyde penned a beautiful congratulatory letter for my advancement to E-9.

God Bless,
OLA

[McGruff]

Henry Hyde proved himself to be a honorable man during the Clinton impeachment. The same can not be said for Trent Lott. Rest in Peace Henry.

[NonValueAdded]

Henry, please say hello to Ronnie for us. Rest In Peace and prayers for your family, Senator.

[NautiNurse]

Sad ping...I know you hold a special place in your heart for this good man.

[riored]

He was a good man.
God rest his soul.

[KC Burke]

Some office holders of long tenure become pliable and more compliant to their fellow office holders as they age. Others develop character and confidence in their principles and become, Statesmen.

Hyde was a shining example of the later course in how to serve.

[Reagan Man]

RIP Henry Hyde

[SE Mom]

Rest in peace, good and faithful servant..

[The Mayor]

[b4its2late]

Wow. Prayers for his family. I’m sure God will take good care if him.

[Santa Fe_Conservative]

Just heard on the radio. God rest his soul, he served Americans as a Congressman.

[seoul62]

God Bless and thank you for standing up for the unborn./Just Asking - seoul62.......

[stevio]

My words to Baldwin, if I ever met him is, “I’m Henry Hyde”. Anyway, God bless him and his family.

[doug from upland]

RIP, Congessman.

[Sacajaweau]

Hyde was one of the Greats!!

[Pyro7480]

I remember seeing Henry Hyde at one of the Catholic parishes around Capitol Hill a few times when I worked in that area. He was a devout Catholic Christian, and it reallly came out in his staunch pro-life stance.

Eternal rest, grant unto him, O Lord, and may perpetual light shine upon him. May he and all the souls of the faithful departed rest in peace. Amen.

[DarthVader]

May God bless the soul of this great American and his family.

[ArrogantBustard]

Amen.

[mission9]

My heart weeps, my soul rejoices, my hands pray for his family. The good news is that we are reborn in Christ and given a perfect body.

[iowamark]

A great man. An ordinary lawyer/politician in his early life. A champion for human life in his later life.

[trisham]

May he rest in peace.

[NeoCaveman]

Eternal rest, grant unto him, O Lord, and may perpetual light shine upon him. May he and all the souls of the faithful departed rest in peace. Amen.

Amen.

RIP Henry Hyde. You were truly a great American.

[TNCMAXQ]

I am deeply saddened to hear it. He served faithfully for decades and was such a champion of the pro life movement. Sad that he had such a short time after retiring before he passed away. I suppose if he had run for reelection last year we would be looking at another unfortunate vacancy now. Hopefully his successor Rep Roskam will serve for many years.

[advertising guy]

thanks Mr Hyde for doing the Lord’s work in public service

Me and mine will never forget you....rest in peace

[seenenuf]

You nailed it! He left us an example of what future good men may use to measure themselves.

[bmwcyle]

I enjoyed his wit.

[ELS]

Requiescat in pace.

Catch the Falling Flag “What we are telling you today,” said Chairman Hyde, “are not the ravings of some vast right-wing conspiracy, but a reaffirmation of a set of values that are tarnished and dim these days, but it is given to us to restore them so our Founding Fathers would be proud.” Deeply critical of the President’s conduct in allegedly lying to a grand jury and obstructing justice through other means, Hyde closed with a peroration directed not so much at his colleagues in Congress as to all of us.

“It’s your country,” said Hyde, “the President is our flag-bearer, out in front of our people. The flag is falling my friends — I ask you to catch the falling flag as we keep our appointment with history.”
