America has lost a patriot and humble servant in George Herbert Walker Bush. While our hearts are heavy today, they are also filled with gratitude. Our thoughts are with the entire Bush family tonight – and all who were inspired by George and Barbara’s example.
RIP George H.W. Bush, 94.
The longest living president in American history & a great man who served his country with huge distinction in so many ways.
Barbara, his wife of 73yrs, died in April, leaving George broken-hearted.
Today, they are reunited.
George H.W. Bush will be missed and long remembered for his leadership, his decency & his essential kindness. Served his country in so many ways. Made public service about country, and America’s responsibility in the world, less about party. Our thoughts are with the Bush family.
RIP President H.W. Bush. Thank you for a lifetime of dedicated service to our nation. Your thoughtful leadership and humility will be missed. Fair winds and following seas, Mr. President. #RIPGHWB
