"I have performed weddings and funerals for Ike and his family, and loved him dearly," said U.S. Congressman Emanuel Cleaver, II. "There is nothing as strong as gentleness, and nothing as gentle as pure strength. Ike was all of that and more. Public service was a part of his very soul and the world is a colder place tonight."
