"I want to thank you all for your incredibly kind words and prayers. You're not done with me just yet."
His family confirmed Thursday night that he died.
Debbie Dingell made a mournful social media post Friday morning:
"To all our friends. My heart is broken. My true love is gone. The tears are flowing pretty freely as I miss the man that made me whole. One can know it is coming, but nothing prepares you for the hole in your heart. He was my one and only true love. Know he loved everyone of you And was proud to call you friend. D2."
Her Facebook post included a quote attributed to Marcus Tullius Cicero, the Roman statesman.
"The life of the dead is placed in the memory of the living."
