Henry J. Hyde

Rest well Henry, you are now in a better place. I want to personally thank you for all you did for us here while you served as our Congressman. I will never forget the times we spent talking about the world.

Hello, I'm Ron Jensen. I loved that park. I reall Anthony Munos...(I was catching that game) hit a homer way over the screen in left field, way into the screet on (dmn it's been so long ago, but I recall everything else just seeing it happen.

And I was the youngest guy to his it over the fence. Dana Demuth was on the field. I was 14...I remeer rounding first and seeing thim rounding his hands I couldn't believe it..."What? are your serious?" He said "yep, keep rounding the bases" I've always wanted to go in touch with with him for that one.

Here's a photo of my dad

When I started politicking in the early seventies, what better man could I have done it with than a classy guy like Henry? He made it so easy.

He made everybody feel special and he will be missed.

With deepest sympathy to a great friend

To the Hyde family, we send our prayers for your loss. We also have lost a great American whom we admired in Congress. May he rest in peace.

Abraham Lincoln, Everett M. Dirksen, and Henry J. Hyde. Three Great Illinois Republicans who made America a far better nation.

It was over 10 years ago that I was taking a flight out of O'Hare, when I recognized Congressman Hyde. We shook hands and I wished him a pleasant flight, for which he thanked me and extended me the same.
Henry helped me one time when Social Security messed up my records. He was a fine and decent
gentleman and our Country is better because of his service. May he rest in peace.

Dear Hyde Family:
We have had a long friendship with Henry Hyde and always have admired him. He was my host in D.C. when I was sworn in the the Bar there, and I felt very deeply honored having him with me. My husband, Tom, and I are pleased we had the opportunity to know him, and shall always have fond memories of him and Jeanne.
Please accept our very deepest sympathy on his passing, and know that you all are in our prayers.
Carol and Tom Martin

To the family of Mr. Henry Hyde:

Our country has lost a great and honorable American in the passing of Mr. Hyde. We pray that his teachings will spur other political figures to follow his example. We so need more statesmen such as he was. May God Bless and comfort you all.

Although I din't share many of Congressman Hyde's political viewpoints, I respected him nonetheless for his commitment to his principles and his dedication and service to those he represented.
Illinois and the U.S. has just lost a true statesman!!

My condolences to the Hyde family.

To Laura and the Hyde Family-
May you find comfort in your time of sorrow. May you find joy and laughter in your memories. My family and I offer our deepest sympathy in you time of grieving.

A salute to a real Republican! When Men were Men! To the family, love.

Dear Hyde Family,
I just wanted to share a little story with you. One day, 20 years ago, my door bell rang and the gentleman was passing out flyers for the election. He was very kind and had a warm and friendly smile. It was only afterwards that I realised that I had actually met the man on the flyer. I was so impressed that it was him, in person. I am so sorry for your loss. He will be missed in so many ways. The people of DuPage appriciated him so very much.

Our deepest sympathies to Henry's Family, He will always be cherished as a true fighter for the "Little guy" God rest his soul!

Thank you Rep. Hyde for saving so many unborn babies. Now that you are in heaven God will reward you for your great works.

Our deepest sympathy to his family. He was a great man.

To the hyde family,
It was summer of 2003, I was for the first time and at the age of 17 leaving home for washington, I was to attend the JSA program and one was incredably nervous about traveling across country on my own and two incredably nervous about how id do in debates and how to survive in this political course at georgetown i was taking. As I sat there nervously and waited for the plane to begin boarding, I saw a older man sitting across from me and thought that he looked familiar, I soon guessed it was Mr. Hyde, I walked up to him being a bit nervous as he was such a large figure that i knew about in politics and said hello, he said hello and I told him who I was and what I was doing. He asked me to sit down next to him seeing I was nervous, and i told him how scared i was of the debating and how to survive in the political world. He said "Its like life, just always be yourself, know what you want and no matter what go and get it." all through georgetown at debates and even into today in my political and personal life that quote continues to guide me and fuel me through any endevours I will ever accomplish, and all because of just a minute or two of talking with Mr. Hyde, a truly good man who will be missed but absolutely not be forgotten.

May God Bless.

Thank you for serving our country in a way that honored God!

Dear Laura:
My sympathies and prayers go out to you and yours in your time of loss.

Truly Representative Hyde was a great man and a strong Christian who walked in the works that God prepared for him to save so many unborned children and to be a light in a very dark world. May God comfort the family in His abounding love for them. Psalm 116:15.

My deepest sympathy to the Hyde family.

Rest in Peace, Mr. Hyde, and thank you for your great service to our country. May God Bless your family in this time of sorrow.

I'll never forget his speech during Clinton's impeachment. Henry was certainly a man of honor. So sorry to see him go.

Dear Laura and Brothers:
I was sorry to learn of the loss of your dad. It is never an easy thing to lose a parent. After the second one passes one really feels somewhat like an orphan and finally all grown up.......no one there to "pick up the pieces" should some turmoil strike one's life. I'm sure you all take pride in all of his accomplishments during his political tenure. Know that his life's work is done and that he is at peace with the Lord. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. God Bless! The Vitale family

What a remarkable man. I loved this dear gentleman for which the world was a much better place. See you on the other side, Henry!

May God bless the family of this great and honorable American. Rest in peace, Sir, and thank you for your great service to this great nation.

Chairman Hyde was a Gentleman from every angle of life. His national presence will be missed and our profound sympathy is extended to his family. God Bless You!

We often remember your words and speeches, your humor, your cleverness...God Bless Forever and ever...and loving thoughts to Bob, Laura and Tony...and Judy.

Shirley and Brian Klippel

Voice for the Voiceless. Defender for the defensless.

May God welcome you home to your well-deserved resting place. Your work has protected many of the unborn.

Rest in Peace Mr. Hyde.

The Hon. Mr. Hyde was a great defender of the unborn. I had the pleasure of meeting him 10 or so years ago at the Palatine picnic and thank him for his work. Requiescat in pace. May perpetual light shine upon him.
