Although I dislike acting in the absence of the nominator, for purposes of continuity I have moved the Personal life paragraph up one slot, to close the article with his death, there being no Legacy section. GTG.

:Thanks! Moving the section is fine. Actually I am here, I put that little note about my absence in case this was reviewed while I was away during last week of the month. Coretheapple (talk) 16:48, 17 December 2014 (UTC)
