He passed away today after years of illness. Though he lived a long and full life, the world has lost an extraordinary person. He did so much for so many.

RIP.

I just read that he died and gasped out loud. I knew he was 95 and in very ill health, but this is still shock. For some reason, I thought he'd go on forever.

I was aware of his health, yet I was still shocked. He truly has earned his peaceful rest. What a remarkable human being who truly made such a difference. We have lost someone incredibly special on the world stage. I'm an American, yet I cried.
