Rest in Peace. I would say he had a life well spent.

Favorite memory of him .... read this maybe 35-40 years ago when I still subscribed to TIME:

He and the Queen were on a visit to Australia, moving slowly down a street in an open topped vehicle, waving at the crowds that included large numbers of young students who had come out with their teachers.

A reporter was standing behind one such group of students who suddenly started to giggle and laugh, so of course he was curious to find out why.

It turned out this class was from a school for the Deaf, and they were all accomplished lip readers.

And they had witnessed Her Majesty, Her Royal Highness, the head of the globally-spanning Commonwealty, *THE* Queen, being called by her husband Prince Phillip ......

"My little pumpkin". :-)
