Rest in peace good and faithful servant. You will be missed. My sympathies to his family.
Senator George McGovern was a wonderful American. He stood for honesty & integrity in a time when this seemed to be lacking in politics. He's an institution that I want my kids and grand kids to know about. So sad that this era has passed. My condolences to his family & friends. He will be missed.
Sorry for your loss. Thanks to Senator McGovern for servicing and representing our country so honorable.
I am so sorry for the loss of your loved one. Please find peace and comfort in Psalms 65:2.
Many years ago when Mr. McGovern was running for President, he was in Charlotte for a fund raising event. While taking a break away from the crowd in a quiter section of First Baptist Church, one of Charlotte's largest at that time in the downtown area, he sat at a piano and was attempting to play as Mahalia Jackson was humming the Hymn "Just a closer walk with Thee". I, being a candidate for Charlotte/Mecklenburg 1970 School board was privileged to be in the group attempting to gather votes. I suggested to Mr. McGovern that he allow me to play the piano and he and Mahalia could sing along. He agreed and it was an enjoyable time playing several more hymns with he, Mahalia and others singing along. It was a great time I enjoyed meeting and talking with Mr. McGovern knowing that he was an honest and intent man. With that in mind, I offer my condolences to his family at this their time of loss.
In 1972 I was a 21-year-old idealist who really enjoyed working in George McGovern's presidential campaign. I have kept up with his career over the years and have always believed he would have made a great President. I never had the pleasure of meeting him in person but did exchange some letters with him. My wife Debra joins me in sending sympathy to the McGovern family. We are praying for you. He left a great legacy and it is our responsibility to keep his dream alive. God bless George McGovern and the many family and friends who were touched by his life.
The first vote I ever cast was for George McGovern for President. I have always admired him for the political stands he took, his quiet patriotism, his integrity and his humanity.
A true hero. Prayers for peace for his family and may he rest in a peace not found here.
