FORMER president George W. Bush has paid tribute to Henry Kissinger after his death at age 100.
Kissinger is best known for serving as Secretary of State from September 23, 1973, to January 20, 1977, under Presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford.
"America has lost one of the most dependable and distinctive voices on foreign affairs with the passing of Henry Kissinger," Bush said in a statement.
"I have long admired the man who fled the Nazis as a young boy from a Jewish family, then fought them in the United States Army. When he later became Secretary of State, his appointment as a former refugee said as much about his greatness as it did America's greatness. "
After Bush said that he was "grateful" for Kissinger's friendship, the statement concluded: "Laura and I will miss his wisdom, his charm, and his humor. And we will always be thankful for the contributions of Henry Kissinger."
Kissinger died at his home in Connecticut after celebrating his 100th birthday in May.
