David Rockefeller, the billionaire businessman and philanthropist who was the last in his generation of one of the country's most famously philanthropic families, died Monday. He was 101.
Rockefeller died in his sleep at his home in suburban Pocantico Hills, New York, according to his spokesman, Fraser P. Seitel.
He was the youngest of six children born to John D. Rockefeller Jr. and the grandson of Standard Oil co-founder John D. Rockefeller.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
IIRC he was reviewing viral sex in his office. One of the perqs of the position.
So dying for an erection can be taken literally?
The NBC fake news said Nelson died at age 70. Pretty young.
I just turned 70. :)
I guess so. I had heard about this but not sure if that really happened. Well I find out that it is true.
It reminded me of the scene from “Weekend At Bernie’s”, where Bernie’s girlfriend came in went up and evidently had sex with a dead Bernie, and the looks that the two guys had on their faces. They were trying to fathom just what had happened, well now we all know, it’s just something that happens.
Can you say "Anti Trust Laws"?
Will always consider the family to be "crooks of a certain kind".
OK begin the hate.
Couple on the beach engaging. Lifeguard. Sir I believe your date is dead.
Oh, sorry. I just thought she was Amercan.
There are numerous stories of people having sex with corpses, some because they enjoyed it.
As for me, my wife always wants me to have a little more life. LOL.
Would like to send those awesome quotes to some contacts.
Do you have link(s)?
Good start.
Mr. Grim Reaper, please come for Soros next.
Thanks.
I hear he had 9 or 10 heart transplants. Probably should have been donated to a younger, healthier person.
I keep waiting to hear of Soros’ demise.
David Rockefeller dies at age 101
Question: What did he die of?....
Paraphrasing Larry the Cable Guy: He wrecked his Harley up there at BikeWeek!
Very wicked!!!!!!!!!
Thank you.
RIP Mr. Rockefeller...
I won’t miss the ahole!!!
Raw evil—the fawning media coverage tells you all you need to know.
He had Happy “treated” with Electroshock. If she divorced him it would have messed the family fortune up. So he used psychiatry exactly in the way it is intended .... To get rid inconvenient people for the benefit of the oligarchs.
