Walter Mondale former vice president, U.S. senator, diplomat, presidential nominee and son of Minnesota has died at age 93. To say that his life was one devoted to public service does not begin to describe all that he gave his state, his country, the world.
The son of a pastor from small-town Minnesota, Mondale served in Korea and went to law school on the GI Bill. His worldview was inclusive and expansive, and he credited his faith with imbuing in him a deep respect for all people that was to guide his life in politics.
