“Peace out” I could hear him say. At 95, he was done and on the eve of the most important political/spiritual fight the US has ever seen. Do you blame him?
I lived in Atlanta for 12 years. I learned my friends who were born and raised in Georgia were given Coke in their bottles and worshipped Bernie Marcus.
There were orange “You can do it. We can help.” stores everywhere. And I’m not talking about Hooters. If you were blessed to work at the headquarters you NEVER left. Many of my clients have been there for 20+ years.
I lived in Dunwoody or as some call it lovingly “Jewoody” as the MJCC-Marcus Jewish Community Center there is one of the largest in the country.

Cheers to a man who rose up from poverty to become a mega mogul and lived a LONG and fruitful life.
