WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Jerry Moran (R-Kan.) today issued the following statement after the passing of Harold Stones, the former Executive Vice President of the Kansas Bankers Association and special projects director for Senator Pat Roberts:

“Harold was an exceptional Kansan. He was a representative for bankers across Kansas and a true public servant, who never shied away from hard work and was dedicated to making Kansas a great state. Harold was a person you never expected to die and never wanted him to. He was always present – offering a helping hand, showing leadership, working to solve problems – and always treating others with care and compassion. I enjoyed talking with Harold and was encouraged by his constant optimism. Robba and I are praying for his loved ones, and he will be dearly missed.”
