Republican Congressman Don Young from Alaska has died at 88 years old

RIP Sir.
Young served as dean of the House. This means that he was the most senior member of either political party. He was also the last active member of the House who was elected in the 1970s.

Before entering Congress, Young worked in construction, fishing and trapping, and gold mining. He also captained a tugboat and delivered products along the Yukon River.
