I'm no one to judge who should or should not be on one of these creations, just passing the news on as it relates to our hobby. Gotta hand it to the guy though, he died "in the pursuit of Happiness..." That's how I wanna go.
(My wife said I could have a motorbike as long as I wear a helmet. She says, "I'd rather visit you in the hospital than have to identify you in the morgue." So I do wear one, not a bad idea either, especially considering this story. Just my two cents)
