STANFORD, Calif. (KRON) -- George P. Shultz, one of the most consequential policymakers and a local at Stanford University, has passed away at the age of 100.
Shultz died Saturday at his home in Stanford.
He served three U.S. presidents and was a significant player alongside President Ronald Reagan in bringing the Cold War to an end.
He is one of only two Americans to have held four different federal cabinet posts : State, Treasury, Labor and Office of Management and Budget.
“Our colleague was a great American statesman and a true patriot in every sense of the word. He will be remembered in history as a man who made the world a better place," Condoleezza Rice, a former Secretary of State and current director of the Hoover Institution, said.
Schultz and his wife Charlotte also quietly but frequently contributed in the Bay Area. The couple worked as leaders in the San Francisco and Stanford community, with a focus in K-12 education.
He maintained close ties with the academic world by joining the faculty of Stanford University.
Schultz is survived by his wife Charlotte and his five children, 11 grandchildren and nine great grandchildren.
