I saw how kind he was and what a wonderful human being. I saw him with his children and I had never seen a better father. ... He always said to me, "I want people to really know who I am after I'm gone."... He wanted to be remembered as a great human being and he wanted to create as many happy places for the children of the world as he could.

Do we have to listen to this?
