An amazing story Bob. I could not believe the request for burial funds when I read his obituary a few weeks ago.
I cannot fathom how someone so educated and so powerful could be so stupid and flippant with his money. In one respect, it seemed like he stayed grounded by staying in his humble home in Hammonton but his habits and flamboyancy strongly proved otherwise.
If I had his money, you would certainly see a few more motorized extravagances in my backyard and driveway, like any self-respecting redneck but I can promise you that I wouldn't have died a broken and sad man.
