To me there's no greater reward than dying peacfully. Its the best we can hope for after a long life - its winning the life lottery!
What is the cynical thig they say? "I'd never want to have for President anyone who could run for it and win?" Well, guess what? He was the only one never to run for it and win!
Maybe thats why we remember him fondly and honor his passing. Just a capable civil servant? Does such exist? I hope so and I hope he was.
