I never had any idea about him. I gather he was a good man, and I hope he rests in peace.

This quote sums the man up pretty well.
My faith demands - this is not optional - my faith demands that I do whatever I can, wherever I can, whenever I can, for as long as I can with whatever I have to try to make a difference.
- Jimmy Carter

I remember humanizing Larry from some posts here. Larry for some reason believed Mr Carter was a good person, and he would say that. Even though Carter was in the other tribe.

Heh.
Carter’s death, less than 30 days before President-elect Donald Trump’s swearing-in, means the American flag will fly half-staff on Inauguration Day, according to the Department of Veterans Affairs.

RIP Mr. Carter
He may turn out to be the final democrat to serve in the military.

When I’m typing on my phone I rely on autocorrect for apostrophes and double spaces for periods.

In fact Clinton is the only president in the top 10 who served two full terms.

Yeah it usually gets it right. Except when it doesn’t
Though when I start a sentence with Well or Hell it puts an apostrophe in which I tediously go back and erase.
