UANI and CEP Mourn The Loss Of Senator Joseph I. Lieberman
Statement from UANI and CEP CEO Ambassador Mark D. Wallace


(New York, N.Y.) — Ambassador Mark D. Wallace released the following statement
on the passing of Senator Joseph I. Lieberman, who served as UANI Chairman and
CEP Advisory Board Member.



"I am terribly sad. Throughout my professional and personal life, whenever I
was unsure of what to say or think, my friend, the Senator, was always there.
He had a unique gift for finding the right words to match any feeling or
emotion, often with humor, a smile, and laughter. Now, as I write this without
his guidance and kind wisdom, I feel his absence deeply. Having the Senator by
my side was one of life's greatest gifts to me, and I know I'm not alone in
feeling profoundly touched by him. That was the Senator's great gift—he touched
and guided so many of us, either personally or through his example.



"Despite his insistence on being called just Joe, I always addressed him as
'the Senator.' To me, he exemplified what it meant to be a great public
servant, and that is how I will always remember him. Whenever I had the
privilege of introducing him, I'd always conclude with an inside joke between
us, calling him the 'national treasure, Senator Joseph Lieberman.' He'd
humorously respond, 'Mark, you gotta save that for my funeral,' a line that
would always bring laughter. I am sure he is hearing the many words offered
upon his passing. Assuredly, today, he would quip to me: "Mark, couldn’t you
have waited a little longer to use that line, like ten years?!". All in an
effort to bring a smile and laughter to a most difficult moment.



"Hadassah, you were his rock and so much more. His partner in caring, wisdom,
kindness, and generosity. His love for you, his children, and his grandchildren
knew no bounds. You were a team, the essential person to him in all that you
have accomplished together and in enriching so many.



"Senator, you were our national treasure, but to many of us, you were so much
more on a personal level. You gave us all so much, and we are all a little less
without you. I will miss you very much."
