The Oak Ridge Boys are sorry for the loss of Senator McCain… He was always so very gracious to us whenever our paths have crossed. He seemed to always have a joke for us! We will remember him as a leader who spoke his mind and we will remember him for his service to America RIP

John McCain // “The world is a fine place and worth the fighting for and I hate very much to leave it…I hate to leave it. But I don’t have a complaint. Not one. It’s been quite a ride.… https://t.co/87wR9AufJ3

Sad to hear my friend Senator John McCain passed away. He and I spent many weeks together during his campaign, and I had the honor of getting to know him on a personal level. His service to our country was monumental. It was an honor to be his friend. #RIPJohnMcCain @MeghanMcCain

A few years ago I had the honor of meeting @SenJohnMcCain who was a true American patriot. His life and values should be an inspiration to us all. My thoughts are with @MeghanMcCain, @CindyMcCain and the whole McCain family. pic.twitter.com/p9jrwU6h8V

As fellow Marylanders who grew up 30 minutes from the U.S. Naval Academy, it’s an honor to have this man grace our beautiful home state. Rest well on the Severn River @SenJohnMcCain. https://t.co/BpAZOQhJXm
