"I am very saddened to learn of the death of Congressman Bob Traxler. Born in Kawkawlin, Bob served our country in the U.S. Army before being elected to public office, where he served in the Michigan House of Representatives, U.S. Congress and later the Michigan State University Board of Trustees. I remember watching Bob's career from a young age and admiring his work for our state. I am grateful that I was able to depend on Bob's advice after being elected to Congress.

"Jennifer and I extend our deepest condolences to Bob's wife, Jeanine, and others who loved Bob dearly."
