Former Tennessee governor Don Sundquist has died after a short illness. He was 87. The family of the two-term Republican governor says he died peacefully at a Memphis hospital surrounded by family members following a short illness.
Sundquist was elected to Congress in 1982, representing parts of West and Middle Tennessee.
In return, recipients were required to spend time each week in job-related activities and were limited to 18 months of welfare at a time with a lifetime ceiling of five years.Additionally, he favored privatizing the state’s prison system, but the General Assembly balked. Sundquist was so unpopular among Republicans that he avoided nearly all public appearances with GOP presidential nominee George W. Bush in 2000. Sundquist stayed out of the limelight for years after he left office in 2003, but began to resume appearing at party events after Gov. Bill Haslam was elected in 2010.
Before serving in Congress, Sundquist founded Graphic Sales of America Corp. of Memphis, a printing and advertising company. He also put together investors to establish a bank in Germantown and later joined with others in opening a Memphis-style barbecue restaurant in Arlington, Va.
