"Brotherly love, relief and truth...These values have helped me live a better and more useful life. Hubert H. Humphrey's values placed his family first. The fact that he was able to do that and still continue to follow his dreams and become recognized as one of the influential political and business leaders in America's time is an inspiration that I cannot deny. I feel very fortunate to have received this award. I cannot thank you enough for your generosity."
