One of Johnny's most-requested speeches was always the "Six Silent Secrets (of a Happy, Healthy Life)." We remember him today with that speech, delivered here at the @universityofga Commencement in 2014. Watch: youtube.com/watch?v=KXiVAhQV….

I’m grateful for the heroic, long life of service that my friend U.S. Senator Bob Dole gave our country, our veterans, and the freedom-loving world. I will miss him and his sense of good humor, and Dianne and I are praying for Elizabeth and all who love them. #RememberingBobDole
