What a tragedy!

Reading about his accomplishments -- especially with the rollout of the MINI brand -- makes me realize what a talented man he was and really makes things even more tragic. To make things worse, he has a wife and 5 children!

Since he came from the Marketing/PR side of things, I wonder if C knows him?
