Last night, Teller’s longtime assistant Judy Shoolery sent around an email that included this reflection: “As I was driving over to his house this noon, I remembered his telling me years ago that Carl Friedrich von Weizsacker (his close friend in college and graduate school) and he decided to try to write a new 10 commandments. Edward could remember only one of his: ‘Live your life in such a way, that when death comes, you are ready to die.’” At the age of 95, Teller was certainly ready for what came yesterday. Judy adds that he “passed away peacefully, looking remarkable well and content.”
