The former chairman of Nordstrom, Bruce Nordstrom, died Saturday, according to family. He died "comfortably at his home," his loved ones said, with his wife Jeannie Nordstrom by his side. Nordstrom took the helm in 1968 alongside other third generation leaders of the family-run company.

The former chairman is known for taking the store from local to national, after Nordstrom first got its start in downtown Seattle in 1901.
