He was 73.

Congressman Chris Lee (R-26) issued this statement today:

"I was saddened to hear of the passing of Jack Kemp, and I know the thoughts and prayers of all Western New Yorkers are with his loved ones at this difficult hour.

"Jack's standing as one of the great Buffalo Bills of all time is often mentioned after his work as a reformer and great statesman. That is a testament to his prolific accomplishments and the incredible legacy of service to our nation he leaves behind."

The thing I remember most about Jack Kemp is he's the star the San Diego Chargers let get away for a $100 waiver claim.
