Hi Clayton,
He was 96 alright and when he passed on I vowed to beat him past 96 even if 
it were by one second! It became and still is my goal! :-) As far as coming 
out of the building and heart attack I'm not sure, but I do know he went to 
his LIFE office every day. And yes he did have pictures published right 
until the end.

A wonderful person and my idol for many many years!
