Boston MA Such a Sad Day

luvdoodles — Thu, 30 Oct 2014 22:24:05 GMT

Our former mayor, Mayor Menino, passed away after dealing with several health issues. The last one being cancer. He decided to stop treatment last week and wanted to spend time with his family. He was the best, served for 2 decades. Longest running mayor Boston ever had. I can't believed it happened was so fast. I thought he would at least live a few more months. It is truly as sad day for all of us from Boston. At least he is at peace now.

I heard he suspended his book tour. I didn't realize he was so close to the end.

RIP, Mayor Menino.

Yes he did, I want to get a copy of that book though. He was really the only mayor I knew, he was a wonderful man. A people person. Not the typical guy you see in politics. A rare breed.

He loved our city. He was Boston Strong.

He was an old-fashioned working man's democrat; one of the best. I'll never forget how he checked himself out of the hospital with a broken leg, so that he could comfort his city after the Boston bombing. Rest in peace, Mayor Menino.
