Viewing the inspiring ceremony for our nation’s 41st president, televised from the Washington National Cathedral, through smiles and tears, listening to the heart-felt eulogies of those who knew and loved George Herbert Walker Bush, filled me with pride for one of the few Republican presidents I ever appreciated. The Celebration of his life was fitting, his resume impressive and worthy, but I feel his greatest legacy was in being such a decent statesman, a loving husband and family man, a father respected and cherished for his unconditional love, a loyal friend to many, a gentleman of humor, grace and intellect, a partisan with civility, a responsible, diplomatic leader. He signed into law the landmark Americans Disabilities Act, providing access and advancement for humanity. He “chose a collaborative approach in working with Mikhail Gorbachev for the unification of Germany, the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War”.
