George H.W. Bush will be remembered as a New Englander whose presidency soared with the U.S. military victory over Iraq in Kuwait before a weakening economy prompted voters to oust him after just one term.

The 41st president of the United States died at 10:10 p.m. Central time on Nov. 30 aged 94, according to an official statement from spokesman Jim McGrath. Bush outlived his wife of more than 70 years, Barbara, who passed away in April 2018.
