Donald Payne was an honest, humble but proud public servant who was admired & respected by all. Donald was a man of strong character & I will miss his example of courage & forbearance in the face of hardship. My thoughts & prayers are with Donald’s wife, kids, family & friends.

Wishing all who celebrate a happy Passover. Chag Sameach!
