RIP Senator Byrd

Far too many people tend to focus on the less colorful aspects of a politicians life rather than the achievements. I realize of course Senator Byrd once had ties with the KKK, but he since has apologized and I accept it. He's done great things not only for our beautiful State of West Virginia, but for our country.

We've lost a great man who dedicated his life to something he loved.

Rest in Peace Senator.

Steve took time off from his work day to head down to the Capitol to pay his respects.

I would have liked to join him, but had a difficult dog at home to deal with.

He told me it was done very nice.

This is the funeral card they had prepared.

Steve's ticket into the Senate Gallery.

WV mourns your passing.

Sleep sweetly with the angels.
