A source familiar with the senior George Bush's final hours told CNN that his son told him he had been a "wonderful father." The New York Times first reported Bush's words.

And his father’s reply, which were reportedly his final words, were: "I love you, too."

Bush had reportedly been asked whether he wanted to be transferred to a hospital in his last hours, but the former president reportedly answered no.

Bush had been hospitalized several times this year following the death of his wife and former first lady Barbara Bush back in April.

The Republican dealt with health issues in recent years, including being diagnosed with a form of Parkinson's disease.

Bush's family announced the death of the former president in a statement released by George W. Bush on Friday. The cause of death has not yet been released.

He was 94 years old.

Bush's body will reportedly be laid to rest at the George H.W. Bush Presidential Library in College Station, Texas, alongside his wife, and their daughter, Robin, who died from leukemia at the age of 3.
