Spent a day with President George H.W. Bush at Dartmouth College in 2010. He could not have been kinder and he was absolutely lovely to my parents. It was an honor I’ll always remember.

President Bush was one of the kindest, elegant and unpretentious people I had ever met. What a life well lived. A life of honor, integrity and purpose in a time when there was deep respect for the presidency no matter where you stood on the issues. #RIP41 pic.twitter.com/UkzHZs4kco

President George H.W. Bush was a man of character who served our nation during war and led our nation during peace. He represented the presidency when politics in our country was more civil.

#RIP41… was fortunate enough to meet him at the 2004 Ryder Cup. As an 11 year old kid I didn’t understand how cool it was to meet a past president, but I’ll never forget how nice and gracious he was me. Condolences to the entire Bush family
