Gov. Pillen Issues Statement on Passing of Bruce Lauritzen

LINCOLN, NE – Today, Governor Jim Pillen issued a statement on the passing of Bruce Lauritzen, former chairman of First National Bank of Omaha:

“Bruce Lauritzen represented the best of what it means to be a Nebraskan -- someone who loved the state and its people. He was committed wholeheartedly to the growth and success of Omaha. In addition to substantial investments, Bruce was an exemplary servant-leader, who devoted a great deal of time to the organizations and projects he supported.  First lady Suzanne and I share our condolences with the Lauritzen family and our deep appreciation for Bruce’s belief in the people of Nebraska.”
