Quoting: Lisa*Lisa What a waste of huge sums that really could have made an impact on other living beings that need help. A pity, also a pity that he died an atheist. Sad story all the way around. So what you believe he's going to hell now? That's for Jesus to decide, not me. Then you really don't know who Jesus is Nor what his heart is truly like |

Quoting: goodmockingbird He very likely knew that some major body function was giving way, and he wanted to go out with control over his fate. Actually he was probably a pretty cool old guy. Squared his business affairs away, then took a flying leap. Sounds a helluva lot better than languishing in your own shit in a nursing home. I'm pushing 40 and my joints sometimes hurt, my grandpa lived to be 95 and one day said he was done living and stopped eating. We all said our goodbyes and told him we love him...at that age what can you do, when you're done you're done. I never forgive and I never forget I am a licensed firearm holder.

Make it requisite reading. It was nice of the guy to leave the money to charity though. But is sounds a lot like "guilt money" to me. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 49825016 United States 12/25/2013 10:29 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to www.dailymail.co.uk] Quoting: ZZXZ The paper reports that he has donated more than $100million a piece to four different charities: The Nature conservancy, the Environmental Defense Fund, the Wildlife Conservation Society and the World Monuments Fund. Another issue that appealed to him- and was close to his purse strings- was an investment in New York City's Catholic schools. The felt that the tuition at the schools, which were going through financial issues, showed an immediate 'return' and he gave $20million to a fund earmarked for that cause. 'I’m an atheist, but I think the schools are especially good,' he said. Wtf kind of charities are these? Government. Sounds like this guy got jacked by the Feds. |

He killed himself to ensure his wife Joann would still get his multimillion dollar pension after his death; if he died while in office, she would get it. It's a shame how people just damn someone without knowing the details. Budd was a tragic case, not simply something to just laugh about.
