He may not have lasted long as PM, but John Turner was a very influential figure in Canadian politics from the sixties through to the nineties. He held various cabinet portfolios under Trudeau, Sr., including Justice and Finance. In the latter role, he was the last finance minister to run a surplus before 20 years of deficits. In the justice portfolio, he saw the end of most of our blue laws (save anal sex having a higher age of consent than other sex acts, which it took until Trudeau, Jr. to finally fix). He also has quite a colourful history including, apparently, a relationship with Princess Margaret (yes, the Queen's sister). 91 definitely qualifies as a "good age" to pass on. Rest in Peace, Mr. Turner.
