States Members have paid tribute to a former Senator who passed away recently aged 101.

He continued in the role until 1972.

Sharing his contributions to public life in a tribute this morning, Bailiff Timothy Le Cocq explained that he served on a number of commitees, including Public Works, Housing, Education.
