Band of Brothers' Major Richard Winters dies aged 92

Did not realise he had died until yesterday http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-12158637 , I believe he was an exceptional man.

I consider Band of Brothers one of the greatest TV series I have ever seen, I read the book "Band of Brothers" by Stephen E.Ambrose (excellent book) afterwards and found the character of Dick Winters fascinating and read his biography by Larry Alexander "Biggest Brother" (very good book).He was a no nonsense sort of man who led from the front and inspired others.
