Aww mang.

I guess he can rest with his true love now. He didn't make it look all that fun to be 100, to be perfectly honest. But he did better than most.

I guess he can rest with his true love now. He didn't make it look all that fun to be 100, to be perfectly honest.

The last bits of one's life are almost never the best. And it's quite common for people to rapidly decline when their better half leaves them 'early', even if he had been in excellent health.

I think he carried his age as well as can be expected. As am European not that much into the whole 'old politics' thing, I can't say I could actually name something he is known for to you guys, but I always liked how they described him as a working man who went into politics to make the world better for his peers and who I think worked hard on 'social injustice' and human rights.

As an European, I can't say I expect the same from your current pick.

RIP Mr. Carter
