He was 76. "Jimmy passed away peacefully on the night of September 1st surrounded by his family, friends, music and dogs," a statement posted to Buffett's official website and social media pages said late Friday. "He lived his life like a song till the very last breath and will be missed beyond measure by so many." The statement did not say where Buffett died or give a cause of death.

| #5 I'm unaware of him ever using his fame to bray about liberal causes. That makes him a good guy to my mind. |

| #4 Damn - he done put the book on the shelf and sailed off to that beach house on the moon. He had just joined the Billionaires Club and then passes surrounded by family, friends and his dogs. A rarity in both life and death. Merci pour la magie! |
