You need some prespective. What is sad is my wife's hairdresser’s husband dying at 35 with no insurance cause they couldnt afford it; leaving 2 kids and a wife who worked part time. A multi Billionaire diagnosed with cancer in 1982 and getting 36 more years? I’m sure he would have signed up for that in 1982.

He helped a lot of people in those 36 years. Elephants too.

I am not degrading his accomplishments just pointing out Ruperts need for prespective. By all means he was a great success and used his riches to help others. We should focus on the 36 year gift he was given and all the good that he accomplished during that time.
