Our good friend, Jack Kemp, will be awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Obama in August. For those of us who knew Jack, we know he would have a big smile on his face but his words of acceptance would be very humble. He was an agent of change but more importantly he was just a great guy, a great husband and dad and all around wonderful human being. RIP Jack. You are missed and you were an icon and role model to all of your friends here in Washington, DC. Click here to read this article in The Buffalo News.

RIP Jack
Jack Kemp was a great man. He was a mentor to many of my friends. He was a friend to me and my family. He was a legend and a man’s man. He will be terribly missed.
Jack was scheduled to attend Game 7 of the first round of the Caps playoff series. He loved competitive sports and we all so looked forward to seeing him. He canceled out of attending that game at the last moment and just yesterday, Raul Fernandez and I were talking about him and how we needed to go see him ASAP and reminisce. So many of my friends are deeply connected to Jack and this will be a severe blow to them. Jack was bigger than life.
Jack was a role model; a great athlete; a professional football player; an organizer; an economist; a politician who served nobly; and a businessman. I couldn’t name a single person who knew Jack who could say a single bad thing about him. He was one of a kind.
Jack will be missed terribly by his family; his business associates; his friends; and the community at large. He was such a fun guy to be around and his passing is just a terrible reminder that life is precious. Seize every moment. RIP Jack Kemp.
Pray for a Great Man
Jack Kemp is a great man; a great leader for our country; a great businessman; a great athlete; a great husband and dad; and a great friend to us all. He is also a great Caps fan and is very close to several of our partners in our sports team.
It was announced that Jack has cancer and is now in the battle of his life. He is a fighter and he is strong and we have his back. Pray for Jack and his family. Get well soon my friend.
