His service to the city government of Worcester resulted in his promotion to the office of mayor. to which he was elected for three terms. After serving for a time as a member of the governors council. he was elected to represent his district in Congress for eight terms. Those who had the bleasure of serving with him admired his fine capacity and understanding. They respected his sterling character. his unfailing integrity. his rugged Americanism. Here was an immigrant boy who appreciated the opportunities he found in this favored land. He made the most of those opportunities and became another American success story. To his fine sons and his family I extend my heartfelt sympathy.
