Pujah Posted February 8, 2007 February 8, 2007 Joanie Schwarzbeck had been Herb Linneweh's friend and next-door neighbor for 18 years, but it wasn't until he died that she ventured beyond the living room of his Mt. Prospect home. Linneweh, who died in March at 72, was a shy retired janitor with few acquaintances and even fewer visitors. He had asked Schwarzbeck to manage his affairs, so after his funeral she arrived to clean out his small, pin-neat ranch house. That's when she found the envelopes. Dozens of them were stashed in dresser drawers, on shelves in a linen closet, in a Fannie May candy box. Every one was stuffed with cash. "It was a little over $100,000," Schwarzbeck said. "I had no idea he had that kind of money in his house--none." The currency was just part of a $700,000 estate assembled by Linneweh, a man too frugal to rent a movie or throw out a tattered shirt. His secret wealth brought windfalls to seven charities, and served as the final gift of a reclusive life transformed by friendship. Read more Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hodman Posted February 8, 2007 Acuudu bilaah I guess frugal gave way to insanity along the way. What's the point of not spending on himself. A person can still live a good life and also enrich others around him Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
