1. This makes me so sad.

He's one of my all time favorites. I will really miss his intellect and wit. There aren't many like him anymore it seems.

4. Barney leaves a great legacy.

I too wish him the best.

5. 'A transformative figure'

Little Luke was praising Frank for being the first openly gay congressperson. Barney corrected him by saying he was the first 'voluntarily' open gay.

The always witty and clever Frank responded to the 'transformative figure' line by saying, "Thank you for that. I just wish I could transform my own figure."

Really gonna miss him.
