I was just recently advised of the passing of a gentleman that I did not know well. However, everyone who I know, who did know him well, always referenced him as being "a good guy".

My question is this:

One e-mail I received in particular, said the following:............

"............he will be missed by all......he was not only highly intelligent, but a true Mensch of the highest order......".

Would you please explain the meaning of Mensch... Thank You.

............Thanks to you both......I appreciate your response(s).......

I only hope that when I leave this earth, and my obit is written,....I hope that the word "mensch" is somehow utilized in that obit

Of course, being in the middle of my 80th year at this point.........I don't expect that obit to be written any time soon .......I'm shootin' for 100
