Hadn't seen this in a thread yet - I'm proud that he's from South Carolina. Peace be with his family and that very new grandbaby.

God be with him and his family. Rest his soul.

Oh wow, I hadn't heard that. I pray that his family will be comforted.

We've lost a former Governor and also a former Atlanta Mayor this week. A sad week for Southern politics. May they all rest in peace.

I was so sad when I saw that on the news this morning. But he has looked sick and uncomfortable for a long time. I'm glad that he was able to make it to his 100th birthday.

He's in a book I am reading about the Civil Rights movement.
