Enjoyed watching him as a kid. He outlived a lot of his contemporaries.

"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

His contemporaries have done well.  It's their kids that are dying early.

Larry the Ax is alive.  His kid is not.  Macho Man, gone.  Piper gone.  But the Baron is alive and well.

Too late to trade Nick for Jim Janos?

Life isn't fair...proof right there.
