Just to set the record straight, Karl and his brother Theo founded Aldi together, but they split the company into Aldi North and Aldi South in the 60's (the brothers got into a fight over whether or not to sell cigarettes in the stores), and Karl's brother Theo (Aldi North) was the one who owned Trader Joe's. Karl owned the Aldi stores here in the USA.

When Theo died he was so secretive that even the big German newspapers couldn't find a photo for the obituary that wasn't 30 years old. (Karl was the one who was anti-cigarette, and he wound up richer than Theo.)

This is not for a "celebrity," but for a very courageous hero. Jon Cavaiani, awarded the Medal of Honor for his heroics in Vietnam, dead at 70. My heartfelt thanks to him and to all the people serving our country and especially to those who have made the ultimate sacrifices. God bless you all.
