PRESIDENT GEORGE HERBERT WALKER BUSH: GONE TO BE WITH HIS WIFE.

ICHEOKU says he was the man's man; an alpha male, who achieved so much within his long  well lived life. He was an aviator, a politician, an oil man, a director of the Central Intelligence Agency, a Vice President, a president and also an elder statesman extraordinaire. He was a husband, a father of six children with five surviving him, a grandfather of 17 children and a great grand father of 10. He was a member of so many associations and clubs, but above all, he enjoyed the unique membership of the ultra exclusive and privileged club of former American presidents. 

In short, President George Herbert Walker Bush lived it really up, way up there in the stratosphere of human endeavors and accomplishments. Indeed he truly lived a good life of both service to fatherland and great personal achievements. He also enjoyed the honor of being also a father to a president and two governor; surpassing President Quincy Adams, with who he shares the singular honor of being both a president and father of president, by also being a father of two governors, one of which took a step further by also becoming a president. 

The 41st president of the United States of America, President George Herbert Walker Bush was married to wife Barbara Pierce Bush for 73 years and was in public service for 53 years. He lived to a good old age of 94 years and died of old age related infirmities. To the bereaved Bush family, ICHEOKU extends our condolences and to the departed, may he now rest. Adieu GHWB.
