I shall not die of a cold.  I shall die of having lived.  ~Willa Cather

And at 94 Meinhardt Raabe did.

The Wizard of Oz and, more specifically, the Munchkins, played a huge role in my evolution. Perhaps it is because the Munchkins were the characters I identified with. I’m not under 147 centimeters now, but as a child this was a town built for me. It was a happy place, a colorful place and it was just the right size.

I hope someone will smile when I die. I wish to be remembered fondly, and with laughter. I wish to leave behind the most enduring of memories and happy moments.

He’s really most sincerely dead.

Say it...
