My Dad was a Secret Service agent for 25 years and spent more time with GHWB and Barbara than any other protectees in his career, mostly during the 80s.   He was very fond of them.  We have a family photo with the First family when my Dad was retiring from the USSS when I was a teenager.   I was in awe that day.  Rip.

In stark contrast to the occupant today, a very classy man and a true president.

All of America mourns this evening.

RIP to a great President.  Served his country in combat, risked his life, and seemed to be an honest guy whatever your politics.

His 1988 campaign was really the first election I was aware of.  I was 9.

President Donald Trump says he expressed his “best wishes” to the Bush family Saturday after the death of former President George H.W. Bush.
Trump says he spoke with former President George W. Bush and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush to express his sympathies. He praised the elder Bush, who died Friday, as “a high-quality man who truly loved his family.”
