He's a great guy. And to be honest, if you spent any time around him, it wasn't hard to assume he was gay, not that it mattered. And even if he had come out during any time during his tenure, don't think anyone would have cared. He was so good at what he did. Regardless of his sexual orientation, his commitment to his constituents was clearly evident. Very sorry to see he's struggling with health issues now when he should be enjoying a carefree retirement.
