One of the most beautiful eulogies.

It was always clear that Charlie will be remembered as a great thinker but his contributions go beyond just being wise words uttered during interviews or talks.
There is a reason why some people used to take their time out of their busy schedules every year; so they could learn directly from him at Berkshire Hathaway Annual Meetings, according to various reports.
