Former Sen. Alan Simpson (R-Wyo.) died on March 14, after having fostered a spirit of bipartisanship for nearly two decades in the Senate.

Simpson, 93, died early Friday morning after struggling to recover from a broken hip in December, his family and the Buffalo Bill Center of the West, a museum group where he served as a board member for 56 years, said in a statement.
