My condoloences to his family
So, I wonder how much the Government will try to take from his "estate"
Do you think its too soon to ask the widow out?
Uncle Ralph died????? {{sniffle}}
Smart move.
How sad for his wife and family ... and a reminder that any one of us could be gone tomorrow.
I think he was my mother-in-law's second cousin on her father's side...
What are the odds?
Dunno about you, but if I were the DA and the ME in his district, I'd be looking for a little antifreeze or rat poison in his system. That much money can make loving people do some pretty damn evil things.

They'll take the remaining half of the half they already took of the original $!24 million.
A little more on this from the Port Huron Newspaper:
Stebbins and his wife, Mary, were living in Port Huron when they won the $208 million lottery jackpot.
After winning the jackpot, the couple bought a couple pieces of property and had been living in different places, Kolt said.
Prior to winning the lottery, Stebbins had numerous labor jobs in the Port Huron area, including working for a well-drilling company and operating a tow truck, Kolt said.
Stebbins, who became a grandfather in August, enjoyed working on motorcycles and other vehicles in his garage, Kolt said.
In October, Stebbins was charged in Leelanau County with attempted murder, possession of a dangerous weapon and being a habitual offender for stabbing his daughter's boyfriend, Timothy Doan, 21, with a pocket knife at an auction.
The case still was pending when Stebbins died.
Kolt said the incident was a family dispute.

Polonium 210 ??????????????????
Yeah, I always said I'd buy a COW if I won the lottery...
How much the government will try taking???
Read the death tax, via Internal Revenue.
In a personal answer, all they can get their grubby hands on, as usual!!
"So, I wonder how much the Government will try to take from his 'estate'"
Probably nothing. I'm sure their lawyer set up their winnings with rights of survivorship.
Let's wait for the autopsy and the investigation of the Missus before we or Jon Kerry go a-courtin'.
As much as they can get their greedy little hands on, I'm sure.
