He was came down with a blood infection a day after attending Barbara’s funeral and was in intensive care at a Houston hospital, where he remained for 13 days. Married for 73 years, the Bushes were the longest-married presidential couple in U.S. history.

The former president’s Maine compound, located in York County, features a nine-bedroom New England shingle-style home with a pool, tennis court, dock, boathouse, and guesthouse.
