George Bush's love for Texas A&M

President George H.W. Bush was not a native Texan. And he was a graduate of Yale. But he fell in love with much about his adopted home state – and at the top of the list of things he cherished most is Texas A&M University. “I’m proud to be an Aggie,” he said.

Oak Ridge Boys perform 'Amazing Grace'

The Oak Ridge Boys, of which President George H.W. Bush was a big fan, performed 'Amazing Grace' during Bush's funeral service. "What a lot of people may not know is he fancied himself to be a good bass singer," Joe Bonsall said. "He was not."

The group first sang for Bush on the White House lawn in 1983 when he was vice president.

James Baker pays tribute to his longtime friend

James Baker III, one of President George H.W. Bush’s closest friends for 60 years, said he’ll forever remember Bush as a friend and role model. Baker began his eulogy by apologizing to his long-time friend for bragging about his accomplishments in his 94 years.

Baker called Bush one of the nation’s finest president and “beyond any doubt the nation’s best one-term president.”

Although Bush wasn’t considered a skilled speaker, Baker said, Bush’s deeds were eloquent and that he “demonstrated their elegance by carving them into the hard granite of history.”

Baker said Bush believed “humility toward, and not humiliation, of a fallen adversary was the very best path to peace and reconciliation.”

Baker said that one of the things Bush liked most about him was that Baker always told Bush what he thought, even when Bush didn't want to hear it. Baker recalled he and Bush having spirited conversations, and when Bush thought the conversation was over, he would tell Baker, "Baker, if you're so smart, why am I president and you're not?" Baker recalled.

In his tribute, The Honorable James A. Baker, III, 61st Secretary of State calls President George H. W. Bush, "A truly beautiful human being. He has been my role model." https://t.co/3KfCbQdHbg — KHOU 11 News Houston (@KHOU) December 6, 2018

Baker ended by saying, "We rejoice, Mr. President, knowing that you are safely tucked in now ... with God's loving arms around you, because our glory, George, is to have had you as President and such a friend."

10 a.m. The Bush family arrives for George H.W. Bush's funeral.

More than 1,000 people gathered inside St. Martin's Episcopal Church to bid final farewell to George H.W. Bush this morning. The invitation-only funeral is expected to begin at 10 a.m.

Farewell, President George H.W. Bush

Dozens of celebrities, sports figures and community leaders arrived Thursday morning to honor President George H.W. Bush, including Arnold Schwarzenegger; Jim "Mattress Mac" McIngvale; Houston Texans J.J. Watt; Astros greats Nolan Ryan, Craig Biggio and Jeff Bagwell; Rockets Dikembe Mutombo and Yao Ming.

Jim "Mattress Mack" McIngvale remembers George H.W. Bush as a man who set the bar for all Houstonians to live by.

Astros greats Nolan Ryan and Craig Biggio, both Hall of Famers, remember George H.W. Bush as a huge sports fan who loved his Houston sports teams.

Astros Owner Jim Crane said Bush was instrumental in helping the Astros win Game 5 of the 2017 World Series. It was a back-and-forth affair with the Los Angeles Dodgers that the Astros ultimately won, 13-12, in extra innings.

"He helped us when that fifth game, he threw out that first pitch," Crane said.
