Charlie Munger is one of the closest things to a "hero" I've ever had. Others have named them, but Poor Charlie's Alamanack or his Psychology of Human Misjudgement are both incredible.

I've made a point of seeing him at Berkshire Hathaway's annual meeting every last few years. He had many trials in his life but lived it well. His wit and wisdom will be missed.

Pretty Sharp til the end. The fact that people were still listening to what he has to say about investing in Alibaba as recently as this month is actually pretty nuts (in an impressive way).

Was he? I listened to an interview of his a year or two ago and he didn't seem to be all that sharp at point. Amazingly sharp for a guy who was almost a hundred, sure, but not relative to a typical 80-year-old. He must have been amazing when he was younger, though.
