RIP.
Those unfamiliar should read his resume.
On top of all of his entrepreneurial work, he was also CEO of Pepsi and national commissioner of the Boy Scouts.
Wiki
A truly self-made businessman and gentleman who was born into a society that actively sought to void both of those aspirations.

Considering nursing facilities and above average infections in some and the fact he has Alzheimer's, it not that bad. My m-i-l passed away in Sept. from it and the wife is very thankful that the woman is not having to go through this. She was 85 also.

Wonder if he is mentioned as much as Lebron and Lil Wayne in February every year?

To be clear, I gave an upvote in honor of this fine man, not because of the news that he died!
