Prayers for him and his family. His wife is descended from the Locke Family of Rowan County, NC, that included a General, Colonel, Captain, and paymaster for the Continental Army and the first Senator and Federal Judge from NC.

Sad news. Always liked Bob Dole.

Sad news.
Prayers to him, Elizabeth and daughter Robin IIRC.
They have always appeared to support MAGA.
Wonder how things would have been different if he and Kemp had denied Slick Willie a second term.

Yeah he was almost cut in half. One hand was formed to hold a pen.

I rememebr when my grandfather was 88, pushing 89 and he got hospitalized with an infection of some kind, my dad asked if he wanted treatment, and the look he gave my dad was like “dont you dare” as he shook his head no.
I don’t blame him after 61 years of being married to my grandmother

97 years old + lung cancer treatments = a quick death.
To: Borges
His passing will be listed “Due to Covid-19”.

Not to sound mean but I am surprised he is still alive. He has had a heck of a life.
Those WWII vets are tough cookies. All they needed was a cup of coffee to conquer the world, but they needed that cup of coffee first.

Got his signature on a piece of paper along with Pat Buchanan's and Dan Quayle's at different events back in 1996 for my late father. Had to yell at Bob Dole through the crowd, "For my dad! For my dad!" as loud as I could. He heard me and pushed through the Secret Service to take my piece of paper. I wish I had an opportunity to thank him for that. Also, thankful to the Secret Service for not tackling me.
I still have all three framed in a nice frame with notes mentioning when and where they were obtained. Very grateful to Bob Dole for what he did in Murfreesboro, TN on that day. If anyone knows him and reads this, please tell him thanks for some poor poster on FR who still has his signature to my father.

I swear, I thought he had passed a while back.
Glad to hear he’s still in the fight. Best of luck.

I was recently surprised to learn that James L. Buckley is alive. He turns 98 next month. Former NY Senator and older brother of William L.

Dole supported Trump when others of his era acted as backstabbers. He was well aware of what it felt like to be falsely accused by the media - remember his undeserved label “Black Prince of American Politics?”
