I think it's better to review a life or career as a whole rather than parse it and assign some sentimentality to the different aspects. In other words, so he or she may have 'mentally retired' but don't count that against anyone. It's not like were supposed to live full bore till you keel over. Maybe they called it in. Never the less they did accomplish something -more than many. That's not something to feel sorry about.

These are, after all, just people. People the same as the homeless or the newborn. Queer as folk, as they say. We're just folk. A bit strange but folk none the less.
