The Most Dangerous Thing A Man Can Do

Andy Rooney retired from writing and delivering essays on 60 Minutes on October 5, 2011. On November 4, 2011, he died, at the age of 92. Working at a law firm where we do a lot trusts and wills, it’s amazing to see how many people die shortly after retiring. I always liked Andy Rooney, even as he rendered himself low-hanging fruit for comics and satirists. He leaves behind a loving family and a remarkable body of work; here’s hoping we all can say the same when our respective times come.

  1. Goodbye, you old curmudgeon. You never were really my style, but on the other hand you always spoke your mind and that’s my style.
