Mandel, 95, died Sunday after spending the weekend visiting with his family and the family of his former wife, Jeanne Dorsey Mandel, while celebrating the 50th birthday of their son, Paul Dorsey, the family said in a statement.

Hogan has ordered flags to fly at half-staff in honor of the former governor, and offered his condolences to the Mandel family.

“The state of Maryland lost not only a former governor but also a truly great leader and someone countless people thought of as a friend, including myself,” Hogan said. “I will be forever grateful for the advice, wisdom, and stories Governor Mandel has shared with me throughout the years.”
