Trumps mourn Bush for 'unflappable leadership'

Sig Rogich a popular valley businessman and consultant spent years as Bush's assistant and considered him family

Former American President George H W Bush was a leading statesman at a critical juncture of world history and passionate about strong Indo-US relations, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said December 1.

"The Palace is deeply saddened by the news of the passing of former President George Herbert Walker Bush of the United States of America", Palace Spokesperson Salvador Panelo said in a statement.

In April, he was admitted to a hospital intensive care unit with a blood infection, a week after the death of his wife of 73 years, Barbara.

He died "at home in Houston surrounded by family and close friends", family spokesman Jim McGrath told AFP.

One thing that Palazhchenko said distinguished Bush from other USA presidents was his understanding of Gorbachev's political situation, and a professed desire not to put Gorbachev in a corner at a time when others in the Soviet leadership were not thrilled with rapprochement.

Former U.S. president George H.W. Bush arrives for the coin toss prior to Super Bowl 51 between the Atlanta Falcons and the New England Patriots at NRG Stadium on February 5, 2017 in Houston, Tex.

Heiko Maas, German foreign minister, remarked: "We are mourning a great statesman and a friend of Germany [who] courageously seized the opportunity to end the Cold War ... he is also an architect of German unity. Rest well, Mr. President", former Secretary of State Condelezza Rice said on Facebook. The Obamas, in a statement, said Bush's life was "a testament to the notion that public service is a noble, joyous calling".

I wish you great happiness here.

The White House announced Saturday that a state funeral for the former president would be held at Washington's National Cathedral.

After Bush emphatically said Saddam's aggression "will not stand", US-led forces routed Iraq's army in the Gulf War, driving it from Kuwait while stopping short of taking Baghdad, Iraq's capital.

He flew 58 combat missions and was shot down over the Pacific by Japanese anti-aircraft fire.

He then graduated from Yale University, and launched a brief career in the oil industry.

In addition to citing the posts in which the former president served the country, the statement from the Trumps cited his achievement in guiding the nation to a peaceful and victorious conclusion of the Cold War.

In his post-presidency, Bush turned to philanthropy - he joined forces with Bill Clinton to raise funds for victims of the 2004 Asian tsunami and the 2010 Haiti quake.

Actress and television host Ellen DeGeneres said: "I will never forget George H.W. Bush and President Clinton meeting me in my old hometown of New Orleans to show support and raise money after Hurricane Katrina".

After two terms in the Reagan Administration Bush ran for President himself defeating Michael Dukakis.
