“I know they’re still figuring out the arrangements but what we do when there’s things of this magnitude, once the date of interment for Rush is announced, we’re going to be lowering the flags to half-staff,” Gov. DeSantis said.

Limbaugh was a resident of Palm Beach, Florida, since 1996 and the radio studio was originally started from his house but later leased an office space less than a mile away to continue his show.
Gov. Ron DeSantis posted a statement when Limbaugh passed, “@FLCaseyDeSantis and I are saddened to learn of the passing of fellow Floridian and our friend, Rush Limbaugh. My statement.”
