In the end it was the banality of failing organs that took him. He provided spectacle and daring for us. I am glad he lived long enough to at least enjoy the start of old age. He didn't do anything, which I wanted to do. I don't admire him any the less for that. He was a true individual, so I hope he is somewhere where he feels appreciated. He was certainly a very brave man.
