I didn't know this man, and I hope it doesn't seem odd that I'm posting, but in the week since I read the article about him I haven't stopped thinking about his beautiful way of looking at life. His quote about never having worked a day in his life -- after retiring from the business he loved in his early 90s -- has stuck with me. Truly inspiring. He must have been an amazing man. My deepest sympathies for his family's loss.
