Here is a sample of reactions after U.S. Rep. Don Young of Alaska, the longest-ever serving Republican member of the House, died Friday at the age of 88:
“Alaskans are devastated by this shocking and sad news and I am saddened beyond belief about the loss of my friend. We have lost a giant who we loved dearly and who held Alaska in his heart —always. Don was coming home to the place that he loved, and to the people that loved him best. We love you, Don.” — U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska..
