WASHINGTON -- Seven months after losing the love of his life, President George H.W. Bush, the 41st commander in chief and a World War II hero, passed away today at age 94.
Bush's longtime spokesman, Jim McGrath, said the former aviator, oilman, ambassador, CIA director and vice president died at 10:10 p.m. Central time. He is survived by five children, 17 grandchildren, eight great-grandchildren, and two siblings. His wife of 73 years passed away in April.
President Trump and first lady Melania Trump said in a statement that Bush "always found a way to set the bar higher" and guided the nation with "sound judgement, common sense, and unflappable leadership."
