That's enough to elevate him to "hero" status in my book.

Hopefully they'll drive a stake through his heart to make sure he doesn't come back.

...
He was always eager to share his passion for public policy and politics. In speeches to college graduation classes, Bob distilled the essence of his years-long ruminations on America for young people just starting out in life:

“Always love your country — but never trust your government!

“That should not be misunderstood. I certainly am not advocating civil disobedience, must less insurrection or rebellion. What I am advocating is to not expect too much from government and be wary of it power, even the power of a democratic government in a free country.

“Ours is one of the mildest, most benevolent governments in the world. But it too has the power to take your wealth and forfeit your life. ... A government that can give you everything can take everything away.”
...

The proof-readers on the article were pretty bad.

Wow, that does suck! You would think that since his column ran in their paper they would have had a proper obit ready to go given his health.
