President Joe Biden has remembered former President Jimmy Carter as a friend as well as globally recognized humanitarian.
In an address Sunday night, Biden remembered Carter for his simple decency. Carter continued to teach Sunday school at his small town Baptist church decades after he left the highest office in the land.
Biden said his friend of more than 50 years stands as a model of what it means to live a life of meaning and purpose, and be dedicated to others.
