George H.W. Bush’s son Jeb Bush missed the call from family members Friday that his 94-year-old father would soon pass, said another son of the 41st president, according to a report.

“Jeb, interestingly enough, was asleep and turns off all his equipment at night so we couldn’t reach him,” Neil Bush said of his brother Jeb, the former Florida governor, while speaking Tuesday at a private Washington, DC, reception, ABC affiliate WFAA reported.

“[Jeb] woke up at 4 in the morning and turned on the TV and found out that his dad had passed away,” Neil said, according to the news outlet. “But every grandchild and every sibling was able to tell our father and our grandfather what an amazing man he was.”

Neil made the remarks during a reception for members of the late president’s administration and his Points of Light Foundation.

The elder Bush, a World War II naval pilot and Texas oil tycoon, died Friday night.

He is survived by five children, 17 grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren.
