Default Flags at half mast

Noticed The Villages' flags are at half mast. Anyone know why?

Flags are at half mast due to the passing of former Florida Governor Reubin Askew.

I heard David Brenner requested to have some hundred dollar bills stuffed in his pocket when buried in case they took tips where is was going!

I'm a Floridian, and you guys probably don't remember where you were when Gov. Askew caused people to call you Ms. Askew even though your name is Escue.
Kitty....Escue, not Askew, it's like "rescue". who wants to be called askew, I ask you?

I was trying to be serious. that's the best I can do.
