What his vessel the RV Petrel is doing with finding the WWII wrecks (Indianapolis, Helena, Lexington to name a few) speaks to a man who had lots of money and lots of big ideas! He did save the Seahawks and then stepped out of the way and let football guys run the operation to lead us to the Golden Age of Seahawks football. He leaves big footprints! RIP.

I cannot believe this isn't getting more national attention. He's right up there with Ben Franklin, Neil Armstrong, John Glenn, Steve Jobs, Gates.......on and on.
