Public pays respects to George Voinovich

cleveland

Ohio Gov. John Kasich and other elected officials and former state office holders paid their respects Thursday to former U.S. senator, Ohio governor and Cleveland mayor George Voinovich.

The 79-year-old Voinovich died in his sleep last Sunday at his home in Cleveland.

The public was invited to pass by Voinovich’s coffin in the Cleveland City Hall rotunda before a program to honor the well-respected Republican.

Kasich, a fellow Republican, called Voinovich a mentor he got to know well since being elected in 2010.

Attorney General Mike DeWine, also a Republican, called Voinovich a tough politician who knew what it took to win elections, but didn’t forget what came next.
