Well, he had a good run and an interesting life. All anyone can ask.

I am sorry to see him go. He was the last person in the auto industry who ever produced a product out of passion.

I remember reading that when he retired from Ford, the only pictures in his office were his father with the original Continental and himself with the Mark II.

I think that that says a lot about him.

Here is a brief tribute provided by the Ford Motor Company. There are a few pictures of the Mark II

Well done.

Very nicely done. An important contributor to our American automotive history has passed on.

I suspect but can't confirm that he was also the last of Edsel's kids to pass away. I am not sure if any of the daughter's are still alive.

He saw a lot. For us car geeks, what he was a part of, arguably the automobile's golden age, means he was someone we won't see again in any lifetime.
