Virginia lost a true statesman on Tuesday with the passing of John William Warner III, who died at his home in Alexandria surrounded by family. He was 94.

An enlistment in the Marines followed in 1950 when the Korean War broke out, after his first year in law school at the University of Virginia.

Warner — military veteran, University of Virginia law graduate, former Navy secretary, former U.S. senator, longtime leader and conscience for the Republican Party — has died at age 94.
