One of America’s old soldiers and politician Bob Dole has passed away, aged 98.
The Elizabeth Dole Foundation announced the stalwart of the Senate’s death through its website on Sunday, December 12, 2021.
“Thank you for the outpouring of love over the last year, it continues to sustain us as we grieve the loss of the precious man we knew as husband and father,” Elizabeth Dole Foundation said in its statement.
“Bob Dole was never only ours – we shared him with Americans from every walk of life and every political persuasion. He dedicated his life to serving you, and so it is heart-warming that so many honour him at his passing.”

The statement continued: “America has lost one of its heroes; our family has lost its rock. We will smile as we recall his gifted sense of humour. We will take comfort from the extraordinary moments of our lifetimes together.”
“Bob Dole never forgot where he came from. He embodied the integrity, humour, compassion and unbounded work ethic of the wide open plains of his youth. He was a powerful voice for pragmatic conservatism, and it was that unique Kansan combination of attributes and values that made him such a giant of the Senate,” the statement added.
