John was an American icon. I have read about him for many years, including getting acquainted with his background and investment philosophies and recommendations. He was intelligent, articulate, trustworthy and engaging. He impacted tens of millions of people for the good.He always provided sound analysis. His advice was based on simple and uncontroverted facts, and well-reasoned and unbiased opinion. Condolences to his family and business successors.

Jack Bogle's index fund creation made me wealthy. For this I will always be in his debt. My condolences to his family and my thanks for sharing this giant of finance with investors.

Years ago I wrote Mr Bogle to personally thank him for all he has done for so many of us. His books and speeches provided a guide and template to successfully create an investment plan for life and stick to it. "Stay the course" as he would often say. About 3 months after I received a response from him thanking me! I consider him an American Dean of Investing and he was thanking me for my letter! Today his letter is framed and hangs in my family room at home. Like so many others, I will always be grateful. He will be truly missed.

This is for your daughter Nancy-
Hi Nancy- From knowing you in college, to living near Valley Forge early in my professional career where your dad started Vanguard, your father helped define my investing philosophy. My investments at Vangurad have a solid growth record and I always coveted his sage words in financial journals. He was a great man who influenced so many. I know you are extremely proud of him. Please know we are thinking of you and your family. Respectfully, Al

Though I only knew Mr. Jack through his books, I always considered him a close friend. His guidance had a powerful impact on my life for the good. His wisdom was rock solid. He was a giant of a man, and such giants don't come along very often. I'm thankful he did. May his admonitions always guide Vanguard, and may God comfort his immediate family and all of us in his extended "family" as we cope with losing him.

John Bogle will never be forgotten. He was an inspiration to all who understood what he stood for. He was a wise, caring and strong man who looked out for the individual who started with nothing......
God bless John and his family for all you have done for this world. You are in my prayers.
