I offer my prayers to the family of Jack Kemp. 

On Saturday Jack Kemp, a Reagan-era conservative, died after a long battle with cancer.

I met Jack in 2004 when I was running from the US Congress from Maryland's 8th District.  He helped me with campaign strategy and fundraising.  Jack was always seeking ways to help others.  He had a very distinguished career in football, business, and politics.  Our family was blessed to have know Jack Kemp over the last few years. 

We will always remember his "can-do" spirit and attitude.  He was a civil rights leader and always offered a hand to those who needed it.  When I called Jack to discuss business or politics, he always had time. 

Our thoughts and prayers are with Jack's family and he will certainly be missed by all.
