OT: Larger than life

[Targan]

I very much enjoy reading the weekly entries at the site Badass of the Week. Last week's entry was no exception - Walter Walsh.

What an impressive individual. This from the end of the linked article:

Somehow, despite being under constant danger and almost always surrounded by loaded firearms – many of which were being used by antagonists in life-fire combat situations – Walter Walsh somehow led a long, full, productive life that had more adventure in a 24 hour span that most regular humans will ever experience in their entire lives.

He died last week at the age of 106.

Hell yeah. Respect to you, Colonel Walsh. A life well-lived. RIP.
