Feb. 23 (UPI) -- Alan Colmes, an author and liberal political commentator for Fox News, died Thursday morning after a brief illness, his official website confirmed. He was 66.
"He leaves his adoring and devoted wife, Jocelyn Elise Crowley," the message said. "He was a great guy, brilliant, hysterical, and moral. He was fiercely loyal, and the only thing he loved more than his work was his life with Jocelyn. He will be missed. The family has asked for privacy during this very difficult time."
