Goodbye to President Gerald Ford
« Thread Started on Dec 27, 2006, 2:56am »

LOS ANGELES - Gerald R. Ford, who picked up the pieces of Richard Nixon's scandal-shattered White House as the 38th president and the only one never elected to nationwide office, has died. He was 93.

"My family joins me in sharing the difficult news that Gerald Ford, our beloved husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather has passed away at 93 years of age," former first lady Betty Ford said in a brief statement issued from her husband's office in Rancho Mirage. "His life was filled with love of God, his family and his country."

Ford was the longest living president, followed by Ronald Reagan, who also died at 93. He died at 6:45 p.m. Tuesday at his home in Rancho Mirage, about 130 miles east of Los Angeles, his office said in a statement. No cause of death was released. Funeral arrangements were to be announced Wednesday.

I remember the day Nixon resigned and Ford took office. I didn't know much about him, but quickly realized that while he was unassuming, he was very focused on trying to bring our nation together again. Rest in peace Gerald Ford.
