He's great, even "late"

I'll apologise for the terrible pun above, but I think that if anyone could forgive such an awful line, it would be Wendy's founder and long-time pitchman Dave Thomas, who passed away yesterday at 69. He was a man who I naturally never met, but who always seemed like a very decent, friendly, human sort of guy. He was said to have visited every location of his restuarant at least once, and would always talk with employees and customers. And he kept on getting in front of that camera to pitch his wares, despite an almost ludicrous draught of acting talent. He was straight-up; he said his prices were good, and they are good.

I think everyone should go have a Junior Bacon Cheeseburger today, in memoriam. Dave will be missed, at least by me.
