This morning we learned that our treasured friend and colleague, David Tomassoni, passed away last night after being diagnosed with ALS last year. Some of our members shared their thoughts and memories.
I am deeply saddened by the passing of Senator David Tomassoni. David was a wonderful colleague, friend, and mentor not only to me, but to so many around the Capitol. He will truly be missed. Janel and I send our condolences to the Tomassoni family during this difficult time. pic.twitter.com/UunAsbMKPD

Sen Tomassoni was one of the most beloved and selfless people I have ever met. People were naturally drawn to him; if you were ever fortunate enough to spend even a few minutes in his presence it was easy to see why. He was one of my closest friends, and I will miss him deeply. pic.twitter.com/6QW3KZZzuY
