"Walter Mondale was a giant of the Senate, a formidable vice president and a truth-telling presidential nominee of his party, who never stopped standing by principle," presidential biographer Jon Meacham said. "It wasn't just the decency he displayed on the national political stage that made him stand out," she said. "It was dignity in the wake of defeat."For many, Mondale's mark went beyond politics and his role as a mentor to generations of Minnesota leaders. Sunday's speakers, including Biden, shared stories of how his friendship and counsel shaped their lives.
