Raleigh, NC — North Carolina Republican Party Chairman Robin Hayes has released the following statement:
“Last night we lost a great man. George Herbert Walker Bush was a man of honor and character. He is the true embodiment of the notion that public service is a noble calling, serving this country as a World War II aviator, Congressman, Ambassador to the United Nations, U.S. Envoy to China, Director of the CIA, Vice President under Reagan, and a term as the 41st President of the United States. My deepest condolences to the Bush family during this difficult time. I was privileged to personally know him, having visited the President and Mrs. Bush in their home. I hope the entire Bush family takes solace knowing that the country mourns with them, remembering him as the shining point of light he represented. Rest in peace, Mr. President.”
