I met him once, not long after he'd left office.

A very bright and well spoken man. Also, he was a true patriot.

God speed, Mister President.

Has the crew of ISS-57 made any remarks on the passing of the 41st President?

Not to my knowledge, but other astronauts reacted on Twitter:
Mr. President... squeeze the First Lady’s hand for me... honored to have met you both. I was so honored to talk with you both from space! RIP 41 and FLOTUS... you blessed America! (And Mrs. Bush said I was a funny guy!) — Clay Anderson

President Bush's lifetime of military and government service to this nation will inspire many generations to come. Godspeed, Sir. You have my utmost respect and admiration. — Nancy Currie-Gregg

Twenty-four Presidents were veterans; three were pilots. WWII veteran, statesman, president and all-around gentleman — H.W. will be missed. — Chris Ferguson

Traffic stopped on I-45 in Jan '93 - the day President HW Bush returned from DC. I stood on an overpass and saluted. Barbara waved and the Pres returned salute. Later got to know them both via NASA and A&M. Dignified leader. Strong, yet caring and gracious. Loved his family and country. — Mike Fossum

President George H. W. Bush was a hero to many, including myself. The compassion he and Barbara showed Gabby when she was in Houston recovering will never be forgotten. Neither will the character and integrity he demonstrated as commander in chief. Fair winds and following seas. — Mark Kelly

RIP President H.W. Bush. Thank you for a lifetime of dedicated service to our nation. Your thoughtful leadership and humility will be missed. Fair winds and following seas, Mr. President. — Scott Kelly

I was privileged to welcome President George H.W. Bush to Johnson Space Center a few years ago, a leader who will be greatly missed across the country and the world. — Ellen Ochoa

Very saddened to hear that the 41st President of the United States, George H W Bush has passed away. He was a Patriot. RIP. — Mark Polansky

Rest In Peace President George H.W. Bush. A man I have always admired, one of our best American Presidents, and a leader the world was lucky to have. You will be missed, now more than ever. — Terry Virts

I had the privilege of visiting the U.S. Capitol this morning to pay my respects to President Bush, our longest lived President. CAUV!

When I think of GHWB, I think of the old truism that you EARN respect.

Well, he EARNED it, for sure.

Peace, good sir.
