(CNN) Sen. Susan Collins offered a deeply personal view of the late Sen. John McCain on Sunday, saying that she's going to "miss the fact that he was so much fun," as well as his humor and his mentorship in the Senate. Appearing on CNN's "State of the Union," Collins, a Republican from Maine, shared fond memories of the Arizona Republican, who died on Saturday at the age of 81, leaving behind a long legacy of public service. "I'm going to miss the fact that he was so much fun," Collins told CNN's Jake Tapper. "His capacity to learn and his insatiable curiosity were extraordinary," Collins added. But, frankly, I will miss how much fun he was, and how much I learned from him.
