Self-made billionaire and two-time independent presidential candidate Ross Perot died Tuesday at 89 after a five-month battle with leukemia.
The Texas philanthropist and tech entrepreneur unsuccessfully ran for president in 1992 and 1996.
"In business and in life, Ross was a man of integrity and action. A true American patriot and a man of rare vision, principle and deep compassion, he touched the lives of countless people through his unwavering support of the military and veterans and through his charitable endeavors," James Fuller, a representative for the Perot family, said in a statement.
