[CKN]

The best example of what an ex-president can be!

Jimmy Carter spent his childhood on a peanut farm and returned there after serving in the Navy.

RIP President Carter, The first president I can remember as a child. A Patriot and also a great human being.

A great man w/o question especially his post presidency years. I shed a tear hearing of his passing. He was truly blessed in many family ways. (4 children and 22 great and grand children. Wife of 77 years!) Brings me back to my youth thinking of all that happened in the 70/80's. RIP Mr. President.

He was among the best. Rest in peace Jimmy.

He survived all of his family members by a lot. Both sisters died of pancreatic cancer, his brother died of pancreatic cancer, even his father died from pancreatic cancer.

I had a kids’ book on great moments in sports. One was of Hank Aaron’s drive to break the career MLB home run record with the Atlanta Braves. Jimmy Carter was Governor and went to home games during that stretch, and was there when he broke the record.

Lived a good and honorable life. Died old as dirt. Can't ask for much better.

Jimmy Carter lived for a century, remarkable. He and Roslyn were married for 77 years!

Maybe radiation isn't all that bad for you.

While not a stellar president, his work with Habitat for Humanity was a good humanitarian effort.

I had a six-pack of Billy Beer for a while. Finally cracked one open and it was the most gawd awful stuff. His brother's humanitarianism, however, was superb. Godspeed Mr. President.

What is crazy is that he technically met his wife shortly after she was born. Thus they more or less knew each other the entirety of their lives.

I'll be eating a peanut butter sandwich In President Carter's honor. A good man who lived by his moral beliefs. When people still had morals.

How old was it? Any beer in a can is going to get skunky after a few years. I heard it was a pretty run of the mill American adjunct lager. More or less inoffensive and easy to drink when relatively fresh.

RIP, Mr President.

Carter showed us how to use the post-presidency years for greatness. A great American.

Nicely stated, sir.

Let's not get political, but remember his accomplishments.

Jimmy Carter was a Navy Submariner, as I am (23 years.) I was on the USS Connecticut (SSN-22), the second Seawolf submarine. The USS Jimmy Carter (SSN-23) was the third and final of the class. Once I retired, I went to work for United Water in Glynn County, GA. I was the Project Manager and had O&M over the water and sewer where President Carter had a vacation home. One day, we had to cut water to part of the island where his home was lcoated, and we got a very polite call from him, verifying the water would be back on prior to the weekend. I didn't believe my Admin assistant at first, but, alas, it was true!

As others stated, not my favorite President, but I believe he was an honorable man. RIP President Carter! Fair winds and following seas.
