Poor man.

BELOIT, Wis. -- The 91st richest man in the U.S., a roofing company billionaire, has died after falling through his home garage's roof, local authorities said Friday.

Ken Hendricks, 66, was checking on construction on the roof over his garage at his home in the town of Rock Thursday night when he fell through, Rock County Sheriff's Department commander Troy Knudson said. He suffered massive head injuries, according to his company, ABC Supply Co.

1. Karma? How do you know he was bad?

Well, rich or poor it sucks to die like that right before the holiday. His family is probably a mess.

2. Its against the law to have money in this country.

Even if you did earn every bit of it.

3. Perhaps I should have said "Ironic" rather than "karmic"

my bad.

Y'all can go off high alert...

4. no its KARMA-bit delayed, but KARMA

He was a Slum lord with out equal in Rock county back in the 70's.
I worked for a community agency that battled him all the time.

He pulled stuff that would have made scrooge blush.

Reformed? Learned from his mistakes? Not my call.
But I can not say I am real sad...
