(COLUMBUS, Ohio)?Ohio Governor Mike DeWine issued the following statement on the death of former Ohio State Senator Ted Gray:
"Fran and I were very saddened to learn of the death of our friend, former State Senator Ted Gray.
"It was my lucky break to sit right next to Senator Gray when I served in the Ohio Senate.? I learned so much from talking with him.? He knew the history of the State Senate.? And, he knew which policies had been tried before -- what worked and what didn?t work.
"Senator Gray was a fountain of knowledge, information, and just plain common sense.? He rose in the Senate ranks, and over time, he served as Senate Majority Leader, Senate Finance Committee Chairman, and Senate Pro Tempore.? He represented thousands of Ohioans over his four decades in public office and made a lasting impact on our State.
"I am grateful to have served with Senator Gray, to have learned from him, and to have called him my friend.? Fran and I extend our deepest condolences to his family."
