From articles I have read about Walter Breuning, it seems he had a pretty good quality of life. He lived his remaining years in an assisted living facility and liked getting together with other residents and having interesting discussions with them. Those were his friends that he socialized with and shared meals with in the dining room. Because of his age, he was treated like a V.I.P. and people from the outside (organizations like GRG) made appointments to talk with him. (I guess you could say that was his volunteer work.)
Why do you assume he didn't have a good quality of life?
