The measure of a man's success is the legacy he leaves. Having known his daughter, Barb, for many years, yet never having the pleasure to know the man himself, one can deduce he indeed had a very successful life. I'm sure his presence will be greatly missed, and my thoughts are with his family during this season of their lives.
