A man dies in his nineties after a long, fulfilling and (by all outward
appearances) happy life and that's 'very sad'? The only sadness was that
his fiancee was killed in the war and he was a 'one woman man' and so
never married.


Well, I find it very sad when someone dies at any age. Expected or not, its
so bloody sad.
His fiancee was killed, I would hardly think his life was fulfilling after
that!
He kept his private life separate from his scientific life, at least from
the media.
He was a Gentleman, a true gent. We are going to miss him with all his
scientific and musical talents.
