I am from Stony Brook, he has done a lot for the community including a nice nature preserve but I can not read his name and not be sad. Despite all this money, his life has been very tragic, two of his three children died young, one drowning and one in a car crash.
Not only that, they once funded the collider experiments at a physics laboratory where I worked when NSF had cut funding drastically, we're talking millions of dollars here.
