Yep 68 is way too young.
Read the story of how Tabasco was started... Pretty interesting story.

RIP Paul

Know a couple of guys who duck hunted with him. Said he was just a flat-out great guy. Mr. McIlhenny loved the Creole/French/Spanish heritage of this state and the richness it manifested in it's traditions, food, drink and, of course, it's peppers.

May God bless his family during this time of painful loss.
