To have his wisdom and sense of humor for that long of a life is a blessing.

As far as I'm concerned, the Buffett-Munger tag team created the foundation of fundamental, basic, long term investing aimed directly at the average investor. Common sense guys, humble, old school and fun. Charlie will be missed, especially by Warren. May he rest in peace.

Ever wonder what happened to manufacturing, these two took upon themselves to kill it off completely. They succeeded, great work.
