Former Republican Virginia Gov. A. Linwood Holton Jr. has died at 98, according to a tweet from his son-in-law Sen. Tim Kaine

"I mourn the loss of my father-in-law Linwood Holton. He was my friend and public service role model. His courageous efforts to end racial discrimination in Virginia—born out of deep religious conviction about the equality of all God's children—made him a moral pillar for so many," Kaine, a Virginia Democrat, tweeted.Holton, who served from 1970 to 1974, declared an end to the"massive resistance" policy to integration.

When others stood in the doorways of schools to block de-segregation, our Dad walked us to integrated schools to show the rest of the world the way of justice," the statement said, continuing later:"But to us he was simply a great Dad -- a hero who helped us with our math homework, told us funny stories, and showed us the way to live committed to what is right.
