John Dingell, the longest serving congressman in U.S. history, died on Thursday at the age of 92, surrounded by family at his home in Dearborn, Michigan.
Dingell, a Democrat, served in the House of Representatives for 59 years, stretching from 1955, when he took over the Southeast Michigan seat from his father, until he retired in 2014. Debbie, his wife, won the seat in the election following his retirement and is still serving.

But Dingell will also be remembered for his sharp sense of humor. He often shared his wit on Twitter and became something of a viral sensation known for his hilariously cantankerous observations, especially those directed at President Donald Trump.
