“We are all deeply saddened at the loss of such an esteemed
and dedicated public servant who always kept the interests of his constituents
first and foremost. Mayor Menino had a
distinguished career in public service that spanned more than three decades,
from his early days as a Boston City Councilor to his elevation to the most
powerful elected office in the City of Boston in 1993. Throughout his years of public service, he never
lost sight of his priorities, which included doing everything he could to
improve the lives of others and to make Boston a better place to live, work,
and raise a family. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family during this
difficult time.”
