George H.W. Bush, the 41st President, whose steady hand and foreign policy vision led the nation through a period of sweeping global change, died on Friday night at his home in Houston. He was 94.
Born into privilege and a tradition of service, Bush was a son of a senator, celebrated World War II combat pilot, student athlete, Texas oilman, Republican congressman, national party chairman, pioneering diplomat and spy chief. After his own 1980 presidential campaign came up short, he served two terms as Ronald Reagan's vice president before reaching the pinnacle of political power by winning the 1988 presidential election, soundly defeating Democrat Michael Dukakis.
After losing the White House in 1992, Bush became a widely admired political elder who leapt out of airplanes to mark birthday milestones. Emphasizing the generosity of his soul, he forged a close friendship with Democrat Bill Clinton, the man who ended his presidency.
Bush's death comes after his wife of 73 years, Barbara Bush, passed away on April 17 at age 92.
