WASHINGTON—U.S. Senator John Boozman (R-AR) released the following statement on the passing of former President George H.W. Bush:

“George H.W. Bush was a devoted husband, father, grandfather and public servant who spent a lifetime answering his nation’s call to service. His love of country and example of faithful civic duty are standards we should all strive to meet. His legacy will continue to inspire future generations to serve the same great cause.

My thoughts and prayers are with the Bush family, friends and our country as we remember this great American leader.”
