Won't even get to the see the results of all his donations to the GQP.... Kind of fitting that he won't get see Trump lose..

Bernard “Bernie” Marcus, the billionaire Home Depot cofounder and a Republican megadonor, who in recent years became an outspoken supporter of former President Donald Trump, has died, the company announced Tuesday. He was 95.

“The entire Home Depot family is deeply saddened by the death of our cofounder Bernie Marcus,” The Home Depot said in a statement. “We owe an immeasurable debt of gratitude to Bernie.”

Marcus, who had a net worth of about $7.4 billion, according to Bloomberg’s Billionaire Index, gained his fortune from establishing The Home Depot with Arthur Blank in 1978. The duo grew the orange-clad hardware store into a retail behemoth that now has 2,300 stores and a stock market valuation of nearly $400 billion.


 
And to top it off, his vote will no longer count.
But RIP.
 
In some blue cities dem voters die first and then vote.

RIP
 

Oh.

RIP
And 150 miles away in Plains, GA President Carter waits patiently.

edited to add - My bad, Marcus was in Boca when he died. President Carter still waits patiently.
 
Hopefully the profits he squeezed out of his employees and vendors are now finally put to good use.
