Maryland Governor Martin O’Malley today released the following statement upon learning of the death of former State Delegate and Natural Resources Secretary Dr. Torrey C. Brown:

“On behalf the citizens of Maryland – especially those who, like me, have a passion for our great outdoors – I offer our deepest condolences to the family of Torrey Brown. As leader of the House Environmental Matters Committee and later, the Department of Natural Resources, as co-founder of the Oyster Recovery Partnership and member of many health and environmental charitable boards and commissions, Torrey was one of a kind. He served our community – locally and globally – with tireless energy, passion, wisdom and a sense of humor that was truly unmatched. Today, as we mourn his loss, we also celebrate his life and the significant contributions he made on behalf of our citizens and our planet.”
