William H. Webster, the former FBI and CIA director, has died at the age of 101, his family announced Friday.

Webster served as the director of the FBI from 1978 to 1987, and then led the CIA from 1987 to 1991. He remains the only individual to have directed both the United States’ premier law enforcement and intelligence agencies.

“We are immensely grateful for the remarkable person he was, dedicating his life to safeguarding the nation and upholding the critical rule of law,” expressed his family in a statement.

Before his time leading agencies in Washington, he served as federal prosecutor and later spent about eight years as a federal judge.
