“I would like to also begin this night by expressing my condolences to the family of our colleague, Mr. Capps. I cannot count how many times my wife has said to me that she hopes that our 24 years of marriage will allow other folks around us to see that it is all right to find the right person in your life and to spend your entire life together. We also have 3 kids, and I am sure listening this evening, that Mr. Capps certainly provided a role model for many, many, many people not only in California but all across America. Married to the same woman for 37 years is something that many people should look to in this Nation for a role model. Again I cannot count how many times my wife Sue has said, 'Let's hope people see that it is all right to be married to the same person,' that that is the way things should be. Again, my condolences to their family and to the kids that are involved here.”
