Huge motorhome, PU Truck with camper, 1966 Scout, 1964 Pontiac, 1,200 lbs. in coins. But not sufficient cash to pay their income taxes. My brother has had his hands full.

Well that reads like he took advantage of his limited life span on earth and had all the toys and lifestyle he wanted. Hedonistic with limited empathy / social responsibility genes. must have been envious of the hollywood lifestyle to try to keep up with it

We have some collectors who have never failed to get people to pay up. Nothing will stop them not even the end of the world.

Actually he was quite generous in many ways. He grew up on a farm in Kansas and could fix just about anything. Never threw anything away. They lived across the street from me for a few years, 1976 - 1983. He owned and kept the 1963 Pontiac Lemans, 1966 Scout and 1978 GMC pickup with a camper on it running all by himself when I knew him. He adopted her son from a prior marriage. He hates California and Hollywood but loves mountain living in Colorado. Although he was a U of CA staff member he worked at Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory (now Los Alamos National Laboratory) in Los Alamos, NM which was operated by the U of CA since the Manhattan Project. Los Alamos National Lab: National Security Science. I used to deer hunt with him. He could hunt and fish with the best of them. Very outdoorsy. He was a high earner with a good pension. She had a decent pension. They just spent it all as they went along. As he developed dementia he could no longer manage their finances which were essentially pension income streams.
