We have also had people work literally until the day they died because they liked what they did so much.
The trouble with doing this is that you're too old and not flexible enough to kick yourself in the ass for working until you died.
HA! I certainly agree, I am not doing what I saw myself doing and am looking forward to oh 25 years from now when I can retire, but sometimes someone truly finds their niche, like some of the other posts in this thread.
This particular guy was energetic, full of life and passionate about what he and his team did helping the Navy. They designed and continue to update some of the most important equipment used aboard ships. They are constantly taking feedback and tweaking the system. If you asked him anything he would gladly talk your ear off about it. He was in his late 70's and didn't make it to work one morning (I believe heart attack)
