Ronnie Reagan, RIP

It was the bitterest of ironies that the Great Communicator should've suffered from Alzheimer's in his later years. In his prime, no one could equal his ability to reach out to the public. Even when one disagreed with his message, one was forced to reckon the messenger among the great men of the world.

Ronald Reagan, the 40th President of the United States, died Saturday at his home in Los Angeles, with his wife and children at his bedside. His son, Michael said: "I pray that as America reflects on the passing of my dad, they will remember a man of integrity, conviction and good humor that changed America and the world for the better."
