BOSTON — Tributes are pouring in for Arizona Sen. John McCain after his family announced he's stopped medical treatment for brain cancer.
Former Massachusetts Senator John Kerry who served in the U.S. Senate with McCain on opposite sides described him as a man showing "what the words grace and grit really mean."
The late Sen. Ted Kennedy died from the same cancer Sen. McCain has battled. His nephew, Rep. Joe Kennedy III, called McCain a warrior.
Current and former lawmakers also paid tribute.
McCain, 81, is in his sixth term representing Arizona.
He has been away from the Capitol since December.
