"While the world will long remember his many contributions to democracy, I will also remember the countless days he spent at Habitat for Humanity International builds around the world, and the time he took to shake the hands of every single Delta customer and employee when he flew with us," said Bastian's post.
He added, "There is much we can learn from his kindness, compassion and humility. He and [his wife] Rosalynn meant a great deal to all of us at Delta Air Lines and will be sorely missed."
"Their legacy lives on through the incredible work of The Carter Center and in the hearts of all those they’ve impacted," wrote Bastian.
