Yes I know his death has already been posted but DM always has such beautiful photos. Kinda like Time magazine did in the old days.

RIP Former President George H.W. Bush

Yes nice pictures. I do have an observation though.

I notice the the heartwarming stuff, even though extremely intimate and personal, is proudly broadcast across all media outlets.

When something juicy happens, divorce, cheating, drugs, gay revelations, etc, it’s all “please respect the family’s privacy.”

I would have kept something as poignant as my father’s last words within my immediate circle. A chacun son gout.

James A Baker III, Bush's longtime friend and former secretary of state, painted a peaceful picture of the final days and hours in an interview with the New York Times on Saturday

Thanks for feeding America's enemy.

I wonder if they can now declassify the Kennedy assassination report now that the last CIA participant has died?

James Baker III is a disgusting person. I’ll be glad when this Bush retrospective frenzy has passed

They asked HW Bush where he was when JFK was shot:

“I don’t remember”

But he was in DALLAS.

If you were in Dallas the very day JFK died there, how likely is it that you’d forget that..?

Heartwarming,seriously, but trying to destroy Trump and what they did to Reagan is disgusting. F-em all.

Reading the responses to this thread just remind me of the pettiness and bitterness so many people hold. A man has died, and yet some just can’t contain their desire to take nasty parting shots at him, his family, friends, or whoever was in his orbit. Its pretty pathetic to be honest.

Some would argue the DU crowd is worse when it comes to grave dancing. Based on what I’ve read today, I would beg to disagree.

Sounds like after Barbara passed away, he pretty much was ready to go.

Barbara Bush had Foundation for Family Literacy that had a Celebration of Reading event near me.

A friend of mine’s Dad was a retired Ford lobbyist who would get a bunch of tickets.

One year when the event was over and he wanted to leave through a side door in the auditorium. George and Barbara were standing there and the Secret Service protecting Bush.

They said no that we had to go the long way.

My friend’s Dad angrily said to them “I’m old and I have to pee and this is the closest way to the bathroom.

George and Barbara start laughing. Then George gets serious and says to the Secret Service “You better them go” And then starts laughing again.

Been to Doro’s house. She’s very sweet.

W. was barely OK. What the heck happened to Jeb?

Whether or not you liked him, it is a sad time. I was younger and less wiser when he was president. America was more innocent back then, too.

I’m feeling old and feeling my mortality right now and sad at how far this country has come with all of the anger and hate. I pray for America.

So even though George H. W. Bush’s health had been failing for several days, his son couldn’t even be bothered to make the trip to see him? How touching. :P

Too bad JFK couldn’t die in his bed surrounded by family.
That is all.

It’s sort of sad that DM has better coverage than our own media...

Nevertheless, thanks for posting. My feelings toward HW are mixed, but the family surely has my family’s prayers at this time.

‘I love you, too’: George H.W. Bush's final words to his son

Those are always good words, and especially so when they are the last words a man will ever speak.

Jeb’s name was barely mentioned twice.
