[LF240]

It saddens me to say that Jimmy Carter, a man dedicated to family, faith and country has passed away at 100 years.

RIP, Mr. President.

According to an internet search, he was the first and only president to be sworn in using a nickname VS his full first name; "Jimmy" VS "James"

"When Mr. Carter was sworn into office in 1977 on a family Bible held by his wife, Rosalynn Carter, he took the presidential oath of office using the name “Jimmy” instead of “James” — his actual first name, which he rarely used."

He lived a meaningful life, walked the walk, and I think left the world better for his having been here.

An honest man.

Tops in terms of being a decent human being. RIP.

 

[ConradH]

A good man and, IMHO, a way better president than he's given credit for. RIP.

He was one of 6 presidents named James, more than any other name. 2nd most is George with 3 and being James myself, I'm proud of that.

RIP. He really did live as he preached. No false prophets in his life.
A good man is gone.

Honest and humble. He sold off his small peanut farm when elected so there wouldn't be any conflict of interest. Imagine that! RIP.

A doer, not a bragger.

Before he was president, Jimmy Carter saved nuclear reactor after meltdown

In 1952, when a Canadian nuclear reactor suffered a partial meltdown, officials turned to a young Navy sailor who could deal with the situation: 28-year-old future president Jimmy Carter.

Honest and humble. (...)

And also a humanist, I'd say.

Quite a pity, that they don't seem to build presidents like him anymore... *sigh*

Greetings from Munich!

Even when he was in the White House the phone number of his home in Plains Georgia was still in the local telephone book. An honest, humble man who spent his life in service doing as much good for mankind as he could. Godspeed Jimmy.
