Senator Eugene J. McCarthy

From the time we met in 1970 through our last visit in 2005, every minute is treasured. I was blessed to know you. Ron

I was privileged to have been a volunteer worker at his D.C. office in 1971-1972 and get a ticket to the 1972 convention. We later met up in New Orleans in 1976 (dinner at Antoine's). He taught me to question authority without forgoing a sense of humor. God Bless.

Rest Eugene, until you hear at dawn,
the low, clear reveille of God.

Thank you for your service to this nation.

Deepest condolences.

You'll go down in history as a great man .RIP

A great man is never forgotten.

My father, Robert J. Metzroth, and Eugene were cousins and when I was growing up I heard many references to Gene's intelligence, sense of humor, and politics. I am so glad he decided to run against Lyndon Johnson and even though he didn't win, he saved the country from continuing down Pres. Johnson's misguided path of war in Viet Nam. I wish he had become president so the conflict might have ended much sooner than it did. I am proud to be Eugene McCarthy's third cousin. I am sorry he is gone.

Our love and prayers to you each for some comfort over the loss of your father and a fine man particularly hard felt during these holiday times. SR fellow student,

If ever was the time to seed the forces of hope in this time of darkness...it is now! We long for such politicians like Senator McCarthy who spoke from the heart referencing the wisdom of the ages. May his soul and all the souls of the departed rest in peace.

A great admirer of Senator McCarthy's, I

send my condolences to the family and

to the country. We have lost a great

statesman; I hope we remember his message.

Former Senator McCarthy became one of my dad Warren Wintz best allies in the 1940's and 50's labor movement. My Dad said that Gene was always willing to listen and take action locally in the Twin Cities area. Dad also said as many realize that Gene was an extremely intelligent and morally good man. Maybe they will meet again somewhere in heaven.



Respectfully,



Don Wintz

Heartfelt sympathy to the McCarthy family. A spell-binding, almost Ancient Mariner persona: "Just slightly shorter than the Iliad," one listener interjected, when Gene recited Yeat's "Wanderings of Oisin." In many ways he was Oisin, one of the Scotti vagantes, hell-bent on saving civilization, as pacific as Columcille, but as querulous as Columbanus. Requiescat.

To The McCarthy's Family: I'm Very Sorry Do to The Lost Senator McCarthy Special Around The Holiday: Three Yrs; this Coming Thursday 05: Ours Father Will Be Missed Very Much: We send Ours Love & Prayers & Blessings To Family Og Senator McCarthy:

While a junior high school student in 1968, the peace candidacy of Gene McCarthy first whetted my appetite for politics. I cast my first presidential vote for Gene in 1976 when he ran as an independent. In 1983, I had the pleasure of meeting and hearing Gene McCarthy speak at Colby College in Maine. True to form, he was witty, charming and intellectual. The nation has lost a giant

To McCarthy Family:



I am very sorry for your loss, and I know how it is that people lost their loved one closer to the holidays. You are in my prayers.



Warmest Regards,

Inver Hills Student Senator Rachel Eggert

Senator McCarthy:



May God be with you and I'll never forget all of the great work that you did in bringing to the attention of the American people the horrible disasater of the Vietnam War. Your candidacy in 1968 made it possible for George McGovern to run a vital campaign 4 years later. What a legacy that you have left. May God look over you and your entire family. Farewell and we all loved you.

Senator McCarthy, you have always been and will always be my hero. Your memory and your fight for peace will live forever.

THANK YOU GENE MAY PEACE BE WITH YOU

I remember well Mr McCarthy's run for president. If only you had won. A man of peace and a true humanitarian. A different breed of politician than we have now for sure. You will be missed as we have too few of your kind in politics these days. God keep you and may your soul find eternal peace. Goodbye and farewell.

I was an 18 year old draftee in 1967-68 and to be honest "scared" of the war in Viet Nam and not really caring about politics. The deaths of Martin Luther King & Robert Kennedy opened my young eyes. The impact of Senator McCarthy made me even more aware of the political environment.



Thank You Sir and May God Bless Your Family.



Lew Taylor

Senator McCarthy



When I canvassed for you I prayed for you then. Your honorability has lasted me all of these years. I even spoke with you as you were a passenger on my flight once. Words cannot express the loss of those you have left behind. Our prayers are with you always.

I remember your words of hope and although I was a year too young to vote, you inspired me.



May you rest in the peace you so richly deserve.

My most sincere condoleances to the family and friends of Senator Eugene J. McCarthy.He was a great man, who will be sadly missed!May his Soul rest in Peace.May God bless you all!

Although I did not live in the United States I still referred to you as one of my favorite political members. God be with your soul and your family.

Senator,



You're at peace. To the family, think of the good times and smile. May GOD bless you and your family, and Senator, you did have my vote.

God bless your soul.

MAY YOU BE COMFORTED BY GOD'S GRACE AND HIS MERCIES. TO FAMILY AND FRIENDS OUR PRAYERS AND CONDOLENCES ARE WITH YOU.

A voice of reason when madness prevailed. He will be sorely missed by all civilized people. Rest in peace.

Blessed are those that mourn for they shall be comforted. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

I was in college when Sen. McCarthy ran for President; I wonder how different the world would've been, if only he'd won! I felt the same sense of loss when Sen. Wellstone, also of Minnesota, was killed in a plane crash. We need leaders like McCarthy & Wellstone now! These were men of vision, who spoke truth to power. Rep. Murtha is speaking out with courage too, about the Iraq War. "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the Children of God".

A true American hero, if there ever was. History will shine kindly on Mr. McCarthy (and I dont refer to Joe McCarthy...rather Mr. Eugene)

Our condolences to Senator McCarthy's family. God bless you & lift you up in your time of sadness. Rest in peace Mr. McCarthy.

Sincerely, Jo-Anne & Dave Wilson Jr.

I was but 20 years in the Air Force back in 1968 but I truly remembering supporting Senator McCarthy.



Though I served in Vietnam I have no regrets.



May the good Lord bless the McCarthy family at this difficult time.
