Our hearts are heavy as we mourn the loss of Senator Jim Inhofe. A lifelong supporter of Oklahoma’s oil and natural gas industry, Senator Inhofe worked tirelessly to improve America’s energy security and national defense. Petroleum Alliance President Brook A. Simmons reminisced on one of his favorite memories: “When climate activists printed wanted posters featuring his image for COP 21 in Paris, Senator Inhofe proudly autographed them and handed them back to protestors.” He embraced the detractors and wore their scorn as a badge of honor! America truly needs more like him.
Back in the 60’s I was privileged to meet many people like Senator Inhofe during my year as an Overseas High School student in Illinois. From Academia, Business & Industry, Senior Government Officials in Washington DC and members of the US Military. Where has that generation of great Americans gone? America so badly needs more people like Senator Jim Inhofe today. We can but hope!🇺🇸
He will be deeply missed. Such a nice man. Had the pleasure in meeting him and he spoke to me for an hour. Kind man. Prayers to his family.
agree man who was principled ; yet, compassionate. He was also very personal to all that he met.RIP my friend.
While I don’t (didn’t )agree with his stand on global warming and climate change I did respect him as politician
May God bless his family
Truly a great leader and a strong believer in conservative Oklahoma values! He will be missed.
A true Patriot and proud OKIE
