Richard Blum, a San Francisco businessman, philanthropist and the husband of Sen. Dianne Feinstein, died late Sunday, the senator’s office announced Monday morning.
“My heart is broken today,” Feinstein, D-Calif., said in a statement. “My husband was my partner and best friend for more than 40 years. He was by my side for the good times and for the challenges. I am going to miss him terribly.”
Blum died at the family home after a long battle with cancer, the senator’s office said. He was 86.
