I first saw this story on AOL, where the comments almost always are overburdened by idiots and bigots. Impressively, the comment section for this obituary was dominated by people who knew and adored him, worked for and respected him, or otherwise admired his professional and philanthropic accomplishments.

My favorite wine is made by Mondavi. It's called Moscato d'Oro.

Oh yeah! That's a great desert wine.

If you were in the desert, I'm sure you'd appreciate it! Even if it wasn't for dessert! :P
