Fitting that he passed on a Sunday.
He practiced his Christianity in good conscience to his best ability.
May he rest in peace.

Most people will remember him for his work with Habitat for Humanity.
I would have to disagree with that, but we are not allowed to discuss politics here.

Actually, he never did command a submarine, nuclear or otherwise. He did serve as an executive officer on a diesel/electric sub. He attended nuclear power school in 1953 but never actually served on a nuke because he left the program when his father died.
This is true, however he served in a variety of billets, including engineer officer of diesel submarines and qualified to command submarines. When father passed away, he left the navy to run the family business. Nevertheless, he did at least serve in his country's military, something many politicians chose not to do.
There is always time for honesty. There's been way too little of that lately . . .
Outstanding president. A profoundly devout Christian. Faithful to his wife. His post-presidential years were marked by excellence in many multiple venues both church and secular. Watched him play softball one summer when I drove down to Plains, GA. Went to church that morning. He was seated two pews ahead of me and my girlfriend. Just regular folks. Never regretted voting for him. God bless him and his family. Sincerely. bruce.
He was a man of unquestionable character, compassion, faith and integrity. He dedicated his life to helping others whether by his participation in world peace, Habitat for Humanity and bringing safe drinking water to areas of the world that had none among other endeavors. Who among us here can claim the same? I have respect and admiration for his life well lived. RIP.

That is never a bad thing to be remembered for, it shows in the last word of the above sentence...Humanity. The thread was started by the OP as a Farewell/RIP, and not a good riddance. Decorum should be the norm IMHO.
I will not speak ill will of him as a man. He had a good honest God Fearing Soul. His politics however convinced me that I should start voting at the age of 19. I haven't missed an election since Reagon first ran to replace him.
I believe him to be a good man with nothing but the best of intentions. God Bless Jimmy Carter.

He was a great humanitarian
So did Reagan, but it would be interesting how many here would possibly sing the praises of their Saint Ronnie?
Seventy-seven years of marriage, longer than any other presidential couple:
Regardless of how we feel about his politics, his was a life well lived. Godspeed, President Carter.
