We are truly saddened to hear of Mr. Jenrette's passing. He TRULY saved "OUR COMPANY...ELAS" and kept the corporation "going" through the de-mutualization process. A TRULY..."RENAISSANCE MAN"!!! PHIL H. and VICKI SNOW

The Last Gentleman on Wall Street. A class act and a brilliant leader. I'll never forget Dick graciously inviting us into his homes, and making us feel important, appreciated and welcome. He literally saved and restored The Equitable, preserving its great name and tradition. What a monumental loss of a truly great man.
Rest in peace, my favorite CEO.
