So by living to age 77, he did pretty well over his lifespan. I never met the man, but I will forever be grateful for his vision and effectiveness as a manager. He created something special here.

My last post on the subject, as it detracts from the intent of the thread. Life expectancy is not static. It is recalculated constantly based on the newest statistics. Anyone born in 1936 was expected to live 60.6 years based on the facts up to that time. The person born in 1936 is benefited by all the improvements in mortality developed during his/her lifetime, and also by surviving peers that passed earlier. The best and most up to date life expectancy for any person, born at any time is available at ssa.gov. Again, I apologize for the diversion from the thread.
