I respected his service, devotion, and respect for the country. His devotion to his wife and family were admirable. I did not agree with him politically or vote for him, but I never questioned his patriotism or his respect for the office of the presidency or his loyalty to country. May he Rest In Peace and his family find comfort in their love and memories.

@Marp.......May just leave it because there has already been a post on it.

He sure lived a respected and long full life, and was so loyal to our country. He will be missed by many.

I am so saddened by this news.

May he rest in peace.

Fortunately, young Barbara Bush married while "Poppy" was still alive. It was touching that the ceremony was arranged to accommodate her grandpa's age and health limitations (or so it seemed). Luckily, coastal Maine is beautiful.

(I'm feeling a bit numb, to tell the truth. Oddly enough, I am shocked. Of course I was aware of President Bush's advanced years, but I was stunned when I saw this thread.)

Most likely this is why I am both stunned and hurt by his passing. From MSN:

"Although Mr. Bush served as president three decades ago, his values and ethic seem centuries removed from today’s acrid political culture. His currency of personal connection was the handwritten letter — not the social media blast."

@ShowMe, very gracious of you but no problem. With something this momentous more than one thread is not unusual.

If you read his letters, you can't help but see what a sweet person he was. He will spend Christmas now with Barbara and Robin. I know his family will miss him terribly.

I totally agree with you. Alhough I too did not agree with him politically nor did I vote for him. I did respect him. I loved seeing the playful and loving relationship between him and Barbara. He was truly presidential. He was able to cummunicate well. A true diplomat and gentlemen. His type of politian is truly missed today.

My husband personally met President Bush when he came to our area when he was in office. My DH was a police officer that was assigned to his protection detail. He said Pres. Bush was a nice man and very down to earth.

The secret service took a picture of the two of them together and a few months later, the picture arrived with a short personal note written on the bottom corner and it was signed. What a surprise.

May he rest in peace now with his beloved Barbara.

My first thought was that he will be with Barbara again. RIP Mr. Bush.
