Harsh but you often hear of folk popping off soon after retirement. Sounds like he had a lot of good things going, I guess as long as he had lived a full life up until his death that's all you can ask, if he didn't and was waiting to retire to begin living, so to speak, then that's pretty bad. It's not all about cash, if you are happy as a pig in shit in your average house and job then that's all that counts right?
