Senator Jerry Moran and Congressman Ron Estes issued statements after former President George H.W. Bush died Friday night in Houston.
Senator Moran:
“President George H.W. Bush was a steadfast defender of freedom and liberty, from his time in the United States Navy to his many years of service in Congress, as vice president, and as our country’s 41st president.
“Our nation is grateful for his leadership through periods of conflict and uncertainty around the world. President Bush was a family man whose legacy of faith and service will live on.
“Robba and I offer our sincerest condolences to the Bush family and we pray that President Bush has been reunited with Barbara, his wife of 71 years, in Heaven.”
Congressman Estes:
“Susan and I join our nation in mourning the passing of President George H. W. Bush,” said Rep. Estes. “President Bush leaves behind an enduring record of selfless public service from his heroic tenure in the U.S. Navy, and as an ambassador, director of the CIA, Vice President and Commander in Chief.
“As President, he defended freedom around the globe and America’s values at home. A devoted husband to First Lady Barbara Bush, his contributions to public service are a testament to his love of family and country.”
