Letter Published in  Gulf News  UAE On 7 Dec18A great leader and visionary

This is in reference to the demise of former US President George H. W. Bush (“Trumps pay respects as president Bush lies in state”, Gulf News, December 3). The long standing politician for three and a half decades, died at 94, and this loss is a big one for American politics. Earlier, he served in the navy and then entered the oil business. He finally turned to politics. Even though he served as a one-time president, unlike his son who was elected for two terms, he was applauded for his foreign policies. After his retirement from politics, his philanthropic nature for the people who were affected by natural disasters is laudable. Former president Bill Clinton remembered the days he has spent with Bush senior and was happy with his association. Even though he has departed, he has left his legacy to the American people. May his soul rest in peace.
