WASHINGTON— U.S. Sen. Mark R. Warner (D-VA) issued this statement on the passing of Dr. Ron Carrier, former longtime president of James Madison University:
"It is hard to overstate Ron's tremendous impact on JMU's history, its growth and the reputation it enjoys today. At the same time, Ron provided principled and strong leadership throughout the Valley and indeed across Virginia.
"He was a guide for me in the earliest days of my political life, and I considered him a trusted advisor and true friend. I want to extend my deep respect, appreciation and condolences to the Carrier family, and to the JMU family he loved so deeply and served so faithfully."
