Former President George H. W. Bush passed away on Friday, November 30th at the age of 94. Along with being the 41st President of the United States, he was Vice-President from 1981-1989 under former President Ronald Reagan, Director of the CIA, Liaision to China, Republican National Committee Chairman, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, Congressman, and a World War II Naval veteran who survived a plane crash during a mission in the Pacific campaign.
He and his wife, Barbara Pierce, were married for 73 years before she died on June 8th of this year. They had six children, the eldest, George W., was the 43rd President of the United States, making George H.W. only the 2nd man to be father to a President and President himself.
James adds to his lead 4 - 2. With former President Bush's passing, Tomb Bowl history was made as this was the first time in its 15 years that either James or John selected at least four celebrities who have passed in a year. December has been a wild month in the history of the Tomb Bowl, so we should prepare for anything to happen!
May his family find consolation and may he rest in peace.
