Family and friends have remembered former Florida Gov. and U.S. Sen. Bob Graham as a politician who usually avoided rancor, enjoyed meeting regular Floridians and always behaved civilly, even behind closed doors.
Adele Graham, wife of U.S. Sen. and two-term Florida Gov. Bob Graham , second from left, stands with her daughters, from left to right, Kendall Graham, Suzanne Graham Gibson, Cissy Graham McCullough and Gwen Graham as they sing “God Bless America,” during the public celebration of life service for Bob Graham at the Miami Lakes United Church of Christ, Saturday, May 11, 2024, in Miami Lakes, Fla. Graham died in April at the age of 87.
“There was no macho profanity. There was no agenda. There was no pettiness. There was no gossip. It was, ‘How do we get to make the best decision for the best reason?’ It was that simple,” Gibson said.
Shorstein bristled at how some political reporters considered Graham’s note-taking to be “quirky,” which he adamantly said his former boss was not. He wondered if that public perception played a part in Graham being passed over by Democratic presidential nominees Michael Dukakis, Bill Clinton and Al Gore as their vice-presidential pick.
