[caitycaity]

thanks honeywolf. i know many people here may not agree with his positions, but i think he was one of the most crucial voices in the senate right now in terms of representing the liberal viewpoint.

 

[DisMNagain]

He was a kind human...a VERY NICE man. I had the honor of meeting him socially on several occasions.

Heartbreaking news.

 

[Minnesota!]

I am so sad. I am kind of shaking. I was not planning on voting for him, but he was a nice guy, that did a lot for MN. This is just awful. I feel for his family.....

RIP Paul..

 

[honeywolf7]

When it comes to death and especially the deaths of not only him but his wife and daughter and the others in the plane, party and viewpoints don't matter....The loss of almost any person is equal.
