McIntyre (director of the Office of Management and Budget) Charles Duncan Jr. (secretary of energy) McIntyre was not a member of the Cabinet, but he was a "Cabinet level" official (as if U.S. politics isn't complicated enough). There are two other "Cabinet level" officials from the Carter era still alive: Andrew Young (wiki, b. 1932) Ambassador to the U.N... probably better known for his civil rights work Donald McHenry (wiki, b. 1936) Also Ambassador to the U.N.

Dickie O, or rockabilly, he was not - just a boring old man whose sole purpose in life was to provide the 8th hit of AD 2021. He was well loved in the state of Minnesota. He did more than just provide Deathlist with another hit. He was a good man who only wanted to make this world better. He devoted his whole life to it. We were on opposite sides of the belief system, but he only wanted what he thought was the best. RIP Mr. Vice President. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looks like the timing was both quick and completely expected, if that makes sense. According to the Axios article, he spent the weekend calling Carter, Biden, Harris, etc. to say goodbye, and wrote a message to his former staffers to be sent after his death. I think the suggestion earlier in the thread from @arghton that it might have been cancer sounds like it matches this. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
