WASHINGTON - Congressman Bobby Scott issued the following statement on the passing of former Congressman G. William "Bill" Whitehurst:
"I am saddened to learn of the passing of former Congressman Whitehurst. From his service in the U.S. Navy during World War II to his tenure representing Hampton Roads in Congress and his time as an educator at Old Dominion University, Dr. Whitehurst dedicated his life to public service. He was a true statesman who was always willing to put the Commonwealth of Virginia above partisan politics and do what was right. I extend my deepest condolences to his family, friends, and all who knew him."
