Maryland Rep. Elijah E. Cummings is remembered across the nation as a powerful orator and civil rights activist, and is missed by those who knew him personally.
San Marcos City Councilmember Mark Rockeymoore, whose sister was married to the late Congressman, said the time he spent with Cummings was a blessing. Cummings passed away on Oct. 17 from complications of longstanding health problems, reports the Associated Press.
“He will be missed greatly by all who knew him personally and many who knew of him,” Rockeymoore said in a statement. “His words and deeds mark him as a truly great man and it was my honor to know and love him.”
