Live stream: Funeral and memorial services for former President George H.W. Bush

On Friday, November 30th, 2018, Former President George Herbert Walker Bush died. He was 94. Months earlier, he lost the love of his life, his wife of 73 years, Barbara. The former first lady died in April 2018.

In his presidency, George H.W. Bush was known for his victory over Iraq in Kuwait and presided during the collapse of the Soviet Union in the final months of the Cold War. But, thanks to a weak economy, voters rallied against him, leaving him to serve only one term as president.

But his political legacy would continue years later through his son, George W. Bush, who became the 43rd president of the United States.

The death of Bush senior — nicknamed "41" to distinguish himself from son George W. Bush, "43" — was announced in a statement released late Friday.

"Jeb, Neil, Marvin, Doro and I are saddened to announce that after 94 remarkable years, our dear Dad has died," his son, former President George W. Bush, said in a statement released by family spokesman Jim McGrath. "George H.W. Bush was a man of the highest character and the best dad a son or daughter could ask for. The entire Bush family is deeply grateful for 41's life and love, for the compassion of those who have cared and prayed for Dad, and for the condolences of our friends and fellow citizens."
