Less than 8 months after Barbara Bush's death.

Yeah. Everybody kinda knew that it wouldn't be too long for him. Another piece of American history gone.

I figured that after she died, it wouldn't be much longer. Still sad. R.I.P.

Picked up his biography from Robert Meachum today. It was only $3 so I figured what the hell. Anyone read it?

A good man all around. He was a great American. 

Was H.W. the last "gentleman" president? 

Had this discussion with a friend yesterday and there are pros and cons to this. It's just a trivial question with no significant value, but we found it to be an interesting talk.

Rather than sad I would say this is uplifting.  A dignified end to a life well lived.  What is sad is the way many Americans have been misguidedly convinced to waste their valuable votes on who they have, Obama, Trump, and Hilary being chief among them.

Agreed!

Minor tidbit - I was married in the same church as were he and Barbara.

Presnented sans comment.
