Coats Statement on Death of Gov. Edgar Whitcomb

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Senator Dan Coats (R-Ind.) today released the following statement regarding the death of former Indiana Governor Edgar Whitcomb: 

“Governor Whitcomb rose from a small community in Jennings County to serve Hoosiers in the highest ranks of our state government. A remarkable man who lived an amazing life, Governor Whitcomb was an author, an adventurer, a sailor, a war hero, a committed public servant and, above all else, a Hoosier. His impact on our state will be felt by generations to come, and I join with all Hoosiers in mourning the passing of a true Indiana legend.”
