I'll drink to that. He used to play cards in the 4 Aces (at least I think thats what the name was - I was usually a bit mashed by the time I got there) - a poker club at the end of the street I lived on in Oakland. You could see him there regularly until well into the early hours - and always with a whisky in his hand, and in his 70's. He didn't look too bad neither. When he died, his motorcade went past lines of people all the way along San Pablo Avenue from central Oakland to Berkeley. He wasn't that stuck up, and he had a lot of friends in the Bay Area.
