I live not far from Princeton and heard stories of him for years. This is extreamly sad to me. Yes I know he was old but the world needs more brilliant minds and not less of them. And to die in of all places a taxi on the turnpike! Who takes a taxi on the turnpike here? He must have thought it better then the train, which he was within walking distance of. 😰 I just wish the general population realizes what a great mind was lost. Sadly I don't think many will even notice.
