I read he was ill a while back, but had no idea he was that ill. He proudly served this country and for that I am grateful to him.


Whether I agreed or disagreed with him, at this point all I can say is God give his family the strength they will need at this sad time and rest his soul.

Condolences to his family. I didn't support him, but can respect him in passing.

That is truely to bad, I hope his family is comforted, and that God has recieved him.

The lack of one iota of sympathy is very telling.

Just goes to show, once again, how what is supposed to be an easy surgery can also be fatal. He must have had underlying additional health problems.

Didn't care a bit for him politically. But may he rest in peace and may his family be comforted with their memories.

It's amazing how long these people stay in Congress. Everytime one of them dies and they mention how long he's been in Congress I'm always surprised. 1974? Jeez.
