Statement on Passing of Tom Getz

By Jonathan Wallace

Rock Island, IL --- "I am deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Tom Getz. Tom was a role model to many, a philanthropist, and a tireless supporter of the QC area. Tom was a driving force behind my own candidacy and youth in local politics. But his impact is much larger than a mere political campaign.

"We will have to work hard to fill the void he leaves in our community. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends in this difficult time." - Jonathan Wallace, candidate for State Representative, 72nd District.
