His fingerprints were on some of America's most notable pieces of legislation and some of the country's biggest moments. Despite this, he was never unapproachable. Those who have run into him at events, such as the Mackinac Policy Conference, know this to be true.
Deb Muchmore said she sat down with Dingell in the lobby of the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island and he spoke to her for hours.
"I'll never forget that," Muchmore said. "He talked about everything that was on his mind, everything from world politics to the things he loved most about Michigan."
Dingell worked at Capitol Hill as a House page from 1938 to 1943. During this period, he saw countless historical moments, such as when President Franklin Roosevelt declared war the day after Pearl Harbor was bombed and when British Prime Minister Winston Churchill addressed Congress.
"He came the day after Christmas," Dingell said. "The Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor on the seventh and, on the eighth, Roosevelt came and declared war and, on the 26th, Churchill came and addressed the Congress. He was a giant."
More stories like these are expected to become public as family, friends, colleagues and constituents pay their respects to the longest-serving member of Congress.
During his tenure, Dingell served alongside 2,453 different U.S. representatives.
