Really?

I spoke to him last year. Years ago he was a family friend and when I was a school kid he gave me a study desk that was his when he was a kid. Later on we lost touch and didn't have contact for decades. It was actually comical because we would be in the same room and he didn't remember who I was and I didn't introduce myself because there wasn't any reason to. And nobody present knew how well I knew the Turnquists. So I heard all of this and that and even knew Bob's 1940's roommate in Brooklyn Heights. Well, that's the way rich people are. Except that I'm not rich and will say that as far as wealthy people go Bob was actually better than most.
