mourned Dec. 10 in a <a href="https://episcopalnewsservice.org/2021/12/07/bob-doles-funeral-to-be-held-at-washington-national-cathedral-on-dec-10/">funeral at Washington National Cathedral</a> in the nation’s capital city.</p> <p>Presiding Bishop Michael Curry and Washington Bishop Mariann Budde officiated at the service, and President Joe Biden was among the eulogists.</p> <p>“Bob Dole was one of the greatest of the greatest generation, a patriot who always placed country above partisanship and politics,” the Very Rev. Randy Hollerith, the cathedral’s dean, said in welcoming the invitation-only crowd to the service. “While we mourn his loss, we gather this morning to give thanks for and to celebrate his extraordinary life.”</p> <p>Dole, 98, died Dec. 5 after revealing in February <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/bob-dole-diagnosed-stage-4-lung-cancer-n1258241">that he had lung cancer</a>.
