Sad news from MSNBC

Jack Kemp was a conservative, but always seemed like a decent person to me.
From NBC's Norah O'Donnell
The office of Jack Kemp -- the former congressman, HUD secretary, and GOP vice presidential candidate -- announced today that he has cancer.
Per a statement, "Mr. Kemp has been undergoing tests to determine the origin of the disease and the options for continued treatment. He will continue to serve as Chairman of Kemp Partners and plans to remain involved in his business, charitable and politically related activities. Mr. Kemp and his family are grateful for the thoughts and prayers of friends and appreciate respect for their privacy at this time
I remember talking to a conservative co worker, who voted for Obama saying that he hoped the GOP will look to him as a model, not to the current crop of thugs (he used those words)
I remember as a very little kid that Jack Kemp played in the AFL for the Buffalo Bills. For the religious, please say a prayer, for those of us who aren't, we need to wish the best for Jack and his family
