And Richard Riordan the former Mayor of Los Angeles. Jerry Springer was also briefly the Mayor of Cincinnati.

Less than 48 hours and it will be May. No US President has ever died in the month of May.

Interesting trivia. No US President has died in the month of May, maybe Jimmy Carter will be the first.

Bob Dole outlived his 1976 Vice Presidential rival Walter Mondale. I think Bob Dole will live to see his 98th birthday but not long past it.

Jimmy Carter outlived his Vice President, Walter Mondale.

With the death of Walter Mondale the oldest living Vice President is Dick Cheney.

Indeed there was a Vice Presidential debate in 1976, the first one ever. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UmeWszwFRSI&t=1221s

103 years old has to be a record for a male celebrity, certainly for someone of this stature. Oh and 103 is a good number, as you can tell I like it.

We should keep Jimmy Carter on the deathlist for 2019. If he lives to March 21, 2019 he will have surpassed George HW Bush's lifespan to become the longest lived President of the United States in history, I think he will break that record but after that at his age anything is fair game. Him being still somewhat active doesn't mean too much, Richard Nixon was quite active right until he died of a stroke at age 81 in 1994. We should not miss any former President's death.

One interesting piece of trivia about the death of George HW Bush, he is the first President to have been born after John F. Kennedy to die. JFK was born in 1917 and died in 1963, 55 years ago and seven Presidents who were born before him died after him: 1. Herbert Hoover 1874-1964 2. Dwight Eisenhower 1890-1969 3. Harry Truman 1884-1972 4. Lyndon Johnson 1908-1973 5. Richard Nixon 1913-1994 6. Ronald Reagan 1911-2004 7. Gerald Ford 1913-2006 Thus George HW Bush 1924-2018 is the first President to die to be born after JFK.

Was going to post the exact same thing. Here's the photographic proof. Don't think he's got long left... http://s9.postimg.org/3r3h6ft0f/Cc_Gq_Vnt_VIAAoj7s.jpg He was thinking "With Jeb out of the race which one of these guys do I want presiding over my state funeral?" Actually it is still quite likely that Obama will preside over his state funeral! Jimmy Carter recently liked cancer for now and is still teaching Sunday school and looking good for his age, he still has a decent shot of living another two years and beating Gerald Ford's record to become the longest lived US President in history. George HW Bush on the other hand at that GOP debate looked like something out of Weekend At Bernie's!

George HW Bush is now the third former President to live to his 91st birthday and third longest lived after Gerald Ford and Ronald Reagan.
