9. He was a neat guy. Brought golf to the masses.

I once golfed a public course he funded for a little resort town called Macuto, in Venezuela. It was built on a mountainside and there was only enough room to put in eight holes, but the locals got to play any time for cheap--less than five bucks, if I recall right.

I lost all six of my golf balls on the first three holes, which is one reason why I have since retired from the sport. I'm pretty sure some of my slices made it all the way to the Atlantic Ocean.
