Former Democratic Rep. John D. Dingell Jr., the longest-serving member of Congress whose tenure stretched from Dwight Eisenhower to Barack Obama, died on Thursday. He was 92.

The cause of death was prostate cancer. Rep. Debbie Dingell, his wife of nearly four decades and successor in Congress, was at Dingell's side when he died.

Dingell's congressional tenure - 59 years and 21 days - is matched by his contribution to Congress, and to the fabric of U.S. society. He was involved in crafting and passing legislation that aimed to ensure clean air and water, safer food and health care for Americans. He worked vociferously to protect the American automobile companies - the dominant industry in his southeastern Michigan district, which stretched from Detroit's edge to the college town of Ann Arbor.
