He spent his years since retirement blasting his chosen successor Immelt at GE for destroying the company he assembled. From being a conglomerate with an approximate 400 Billion market cap to a single industry much smaller company, Immelt presided over the company's retrenchment. Welsh was a supporter of Trump for his practices like tax cuts but did not support Trump's management style FWIW.

What I liked about him is he was very direct, did not seem to equivocate. On the down side, he was not known as Neutron Jack for his management concepts. He and his first wife had an epic divorce which made the social pages quite a few times.

I had a feeling someone would reprimand me for praising him, after reading some of his background. Well, thank you for not doing that.

I remember seeing him on business shows and he always acted and sounded so rational and professional. I still like his memory, in spite of his warts.

Thanks again, Mouton.
