Herb Kohl was one of the finest people I've served with - a kind and principled man of integrity and character, one of Wisconsin's greatest-ever advocates, and a dear friend.
As a businessman, Herb was living proof of the American Dream. The son of immigrants, he rose from his first job as a bag boy in his father's market to build an iconic retail chain. As the owner of the Milwaukee Bucks, he helped to mold future world champions, and made sure the NBA team stayed put in his cherished hometown. As a Senator, he always chose work over the limelight and responsibility over ego, serving not for credit, but for the common good.
