Former Baltimore Mayor Thomas DAlesandro III, the eldest brother of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), has died.
In a statement released Sunday, Pelosi said her family is devastated by the loss of our patriarch, calling him the finest public servant I have ever known.
His life and leadership were a tribute to the Catholic values with which we were raised: faith, family, patriotism, she continued. He profoundly believed, as did our parents, that public service was a noble calling and that we all had a responsibility to help others.
According to The Baltimore Sun , DAlesandro died Sunday of stroke complications. He was 90.
