I just found this: Rickover's only son's eulogy for him, putatively at Yom Kippur 2008. (Rickover died in 1986.) Sounds like the man had a human side and really was kindly — at least toward some. Excerpt: "He was certainly thrifty, but my father could also be extremely generous with his money as well as with his time. He donated all the profits from his books and the honorariums from his many speaking engagements to a Jewish orphanage in Chicago. When one of his staff died during surgery, he made sure his widow had enough money to tide her and her family over and went to great lengths to find her a good job with the civil service." http://www.rickover.com/ http://www.rickover.com/
