Forbes had been scheduled to undergo a physical exam earlier in the day, said Garson. Shortly after he failed to show up for his medical appointment at 1 p.m., Dr. Oscar Kruesi called Timberfield and was told by Forbes' houseman, Dennis Stewart, that Forbes was sleeping.

Kruesi told Stewart to let Forbes sleep. Forbes' death shocked his friends and other business leaders. "Malcolm was an extraordinarily positive force in America's business and social life. His loss takes creativity and genuine business Readership from every American businessman," billionaire developer Donald Trump said through a spokesman, Howard Rubenstein. Lee Iacocca, chairman of Chrysler said: "Malcolm Forbes was someone who lived life to its fullest and in doing so made all of our lives a little more colorful.

He was a great businessman, publisher and collector, but more important, a great friend to many. We will miss him deeply." In Los Angeles, industrialist Ar-mand Hammer released a statement saying: "The whole world will miss Malcolm, who brought humanity to the capitalist system."

Ray's first hit record (25 million copies) was "Cry," followed by "The Little; White Cloud That Cried," "Please Mr. Sun," "Brokenhearted," "What's the Use," "Somebody Stole My Gal," "Who's Sorry Now" and "Yes Tonight Josephine." -Ray's style was controversial for the early 1950s, and he drew huge crowds in nightclub appearances Mall St Matthews Jefferson Mall bob of Sob," "The Howling Success," "The Cry Guy" and the "Master of Misery." Ray was born Jan. 10, 1927, in Dallas, a small town near Salem.
