To his staff, colleagues, friends, and even perfect strangers, he was family. He served and cared for everyone like they were his own. He dedicated his life to service in the belief that the worth of every soul is great in the sight of God.

We thank him for his service, to Elaine and the Hatch family for sustaining him all these years, and the great people of Utah for making the right choice on an outsider from Pittsburgh so many years ago. A very fond and loving farewell.

Orrin Hatch was a valued colleague and a dear friend. When I was a new Senator, Orrin asked me to work with him on the Children’s Health Insurance Program, which has since provided health care for millions of children in low-income families. usatoday.com/story/news/2022…

"Hatch was a bundle of seeming contradictions held together by decency. ... He was a Senator sui generis. There was no one quite like him before, and there will never be anyone quite like him again." Hatch's speechwriter pays tribute in @NRO nationalreview.com/2022/04/o…

The first time I met Sen. Hatch, it was at a fundraising luncheon he was hosting for my boss, first-term Sen. McConnell. I was a junior staffer, but Hatch made a point of introducing himself to me, seating me at the table and noting my presence to the group. I never forgot it. 🙏

Sen. Hatch once told me that comity was the cartilage that made the Senate function. @senorrinhatch thank you for your guidance, kindness and friendship. And to Elaine - thank you for sharing Orrin with the nation.

Orrin Hatch was a great mentor and an even better friend. He devoted his life to serving Utahns, and will be missed dearly. My deepest condolences to his friends and family.

Saddened to hear of the passing of Senator Orrin Hatch. He was a dedicated public servant who spent more than 40 years bettering the lives of people in Utah and across the country. Mikey and I are keeping his loved ones in our prayers.

Everyone in DC has an @OrrinHatch story… here’s my favorite… After we had our first baby, we brought her by the @NRSC where my wife was working. Senator Hatch came out of his way to see her, & said, “when you have 1 that beautiful, you need to have 8 or 9 more.”

Sen. Hatch administered my oath of office to the Senate. You couldn’t meet a more decent person. So sorry to hear of his passing.

Senator Orrin Hatch was an exceptional statesman and true freedom fighter. I enjoyed working with him on intellectual property issues to protect our creative communities — like the Music Modernization Act, which would not have been possible without his leadership.
