Great profile in the NYT, which i can't link to (paywall) so let's go with The Seattle Times instead

perfect last line of obituary of Bob Vlasic "It was, his son said, the sort of work he relished."

i like this guy and i hate food

Robert J. Vlasic dies; he made a fortune by making pickles funny

An engineer by training, he insisted that his managers keep their reports to a single page, the better to focus their attention on what mattered
