His relatives gathered at his bedside to offer their farewells. In a very delicate manner one of them asked, “Sir, we think that you will be with us for a while but, just in case, do you want to be buried in the cemetery in New York or in the burial plot you own here in Florida?’ The sick man raised his head and said, “Surprise me!”
