PHILADELPHIA, April 30, 2016 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- "In a
span of a week our city has lost two giants, a top union leader
like and a savvy political consultant. Samuel Staten,
stood tall among his colleagues. He dedicated his life to making
sure members of Philadelphia Laborers Local 332 were fairly
compensated for their work. Sam was a straight shooter.
Our friendship spanned decades, I could always count on
him. He was a man of his word and he earned the respect
of all those who knew him.
"William Miller was a
brilliant political adviser and strategist. His council
and advice was priceless and sought after by anyone serious about
seeking office. His contribution to the political landscape of
Philadelphia is legendary as it
was his expertise that helped elect the city's first African
American mayor. Bill was my friend and fellow alum of Overbrook
High School.
"Renee and I send our condolences to both the Staten and Miller
families as they grieve the loss of their loved ones."
