I’m sure his family will miss him. Me, not so much.

Bob Dole was a war hero... a real one.

Bob Dole says RIP to Bob Dole.

RIP, we lost another from the Greatest Generation.

[skeeter]

One of the greatest generation and a republican from a different era. Bless him for retiring with dignity and refraining from commenting on that with which he may have disagreed in this changing political climate. RIP

[dfwgator]

RIP. And thank you for your lifetime of service.

The totally non-partisan, independent and unbiased Wikipedia's "recent deaths" page lists Dole blandly as an "American politician" yet adds minute details of the deceased when it's somebody historically noteworthy like a foreign actor who nobody relevant has ever heard of.

Take care Senator Dole, on your journey to the “other side.”

I also appreciated your presence at the 2016 Republican Convention, many other Republicans decided not to show up.

It was also a pleasure to vote for you in your 1996 run against Slick Willy.

Story was he came back from the war and went to his county recorder and asked whether there were more Democrats or Republicans registered to vote. It was Kansas and the GOP had a big advantage. The story goes, he said, “Very well. Put me down as a Republican.” Never a fan, but RIP anyway, senator.

Norm and Bob within weeks of each other.

The Dole’s are a nice family.

RIP Mr. Dole. A warrior, a patriot, and all with a good sense of humor.

[PghBaldy]

He was a great man. I very much appreciated his support of Trump in 2016 and beyond. He had nothing to gain from it; but it helped Trump. R.I.P.

[SpaceBar]

Sure are a lot of negative comments about a guy who picked up a rifle and killed nazis so we could sit in our office chairs and type out disrespectful venom.

May he rest in peace.

R.I.P., Bob Dole.
