My condolences to the family of Colin Powell.

Though we disagreed on many issues, I always respected him and was proud of his achievements.

When he and I ran into each other and conversed, I always left feeling he was a sincere and committed man to what he believed in.

Laura and I are deeply saddened by the death of Colin Powell.

He was a great public servant, starting with his time as a soldier during Vietnam.
