Kansas City's Secret Santa made the national news in November when he revealed his identity. He was a millionaire who gave $1.3 million over 25 years or so to needy individuals selected at random. Tonight he died of esophageal cancer. He looked so healthy on TV right before Christmas. I had followed his story over the years and was surprised to learn that he lived in the same suburb that we do. It goes to show that no matter how much money you have, sometimes the beast steals your life. The world has lost a very special person.

    makes one wonder why such a person should have to suffer the beast, but maybe he was just promoted to a higher position.. Bud

    I also followed this story over the years, when I could catch it. And watched the news story that revealed who he was. At that time they said he was battling cancer, but you are right he looked so good. I am sad to hear of his passing. The world has lost a very special person-but I like Bud's thinking.
