The George & Barbara Bush Foundation joins fellow Americans as we mourn the loss of Senator Alan K. Simpson. Senator Simpson’s life was a testament to friendship, integrity, and dedicated public service. With a sharp wit and unwavering principles, he brought people together, championed bipartisanship, and led with honesty and humility. His deep loyalty and respect for others made him not only a remarkable leader but also a cherished friend to many, including President and Mrs. Bush. President Bush chose Senator Simpson to be one of his eulogists at his funeral in 2018, where his poignant remarks caused the congregation and viewers around the world to both laugh and cry. A proud son of Wyoming, Senator Simpson served with courage, decency, and a steadfast love for his country. His legacy lives on through the policies he shaped and the countless lives he touched. Our thoughts and prayers are with Ann and all of the Simpson family.
Sen Simpson, a very good man with a lively sense of humor. He will be deeply missed.
Unfortunately, we don't seem to make them like this anymore and certainly don't promote or reward bi-partisan commonsense.
R.I.P. to a great and good man.
President, The Thurman Group
