WASHINGTON– Congressman John Yarmuth (KY-3) issued the statement below on the passing of Humana co-founder David Jones Sr.:

“Today, I join countless Louisvillians in mourning the loss of David Jones Sr., founder of Humana and a philanthropic champion for our city. David Jones’ generosity has touched nearly every single facet of our community, from our thriving arts scene to our parks system, just as the business he started with a $1,000 dream 58 years ago has become a pillar of our local economy. I can’t think of an individual who has had a greater impact on the city we call home. He will be missed.”
