Why should we care? A publicity we of the worse kind before we even had reality TV. He was a two-bit player in the heist yet became the most notorious because he was a total prick who built his part up.

May he be forgotten quickly.

Refered to himself as a lovable rouge or something like that (hoped he would be remembered that way?)

I'm too young to know anything about him or what happened (only really learned about it today listening to the radio) but he played a bit part in a big crime (I'm not sure if the train driver was killed though, the radio report wasnt clear...i assume he was?).

He didnt regret a thing (maybe the train driver) but he got ill, maybe thats karma, maybe thats old age, who knows. He spent his life avoiding justice so he never paid his dues

There are many myths about his part and whether he paid his dues but paying your dues doesn't negate the crime itself so I personally couldn't care less that he's dead.
