I can only conclude it just fate

Yeah, some things simply cannot be explained rationally, why such a smart man who knew how to run a company, could end up in such poor health, and need a sister to sue a mistress to recover money he could afford to part with before? 

His end of life seems to be going to be spent in a nursing home with people who might never have lived the life he had...bus drivers?  painters?  cooks?  security guards?  Well, some were managers and school teachers even.  But how many were the Boss of a big company with a big room of his own while the rest of the staff sat in a common open office?

When we cannot explain why, we can either say it's karma or Fate.
