Gov. Evers Statement on Passing of Hank Aaron

MADISON — Gov. Tony Evers today released the following statement regarding the passing of Hank Aaron.

“I’m saddened to hear about the passing of a great athlete, a great man, and one of my own personal heroes.

Hammerin’ Hank was a role model to so many both on and off the field, and he’ll be remembered as a legend to the sport and to our state. What a loss.”
