Rep. Jeff Pyle (R-Armstrong/Indiana) today issued the following statement after learning of the passing of Congressman John Murtha (D-12).

“I am deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Congressman John Murtha.  He served our people faithfully and capably for many, many years.  I have worked with him on a number of projects and always appreciated his assistance.  Despite the level to which he rose and the respect he commanded, he never bought into it.  He was just ‘Jack.’  We are lessened by his passing.”
