George W. Bush was the noblest man and the best father, said his son and the 43rd President of the United States, George W. Bush.

The forty-first American President George W. Bush died on Saturday night, the Guardian reported.

“George HW Bush was a man of the highest character and the best dad a son or daughter could ask for. The entire Bush family is deeply grateful for 41's life and love, for the compassion of those who have cared and prayed for Dad, and for the condolences of our friends and fellow citizens,” Bush Jr. said in a statement.

The US President Donald Trump and his spouse Melania Trump shared a sentiment lauding for 'setting the stage for the decades of prosperity.'
