Paul Volcker dies at 92
He is survived by his wife, Anke Dening; two children, Janice and James; and four grandchildren.
Volcker was known as a towering Fed chairman — both for his impressive height (he stood 6 feet 7 inches) and also for confronting difficult economic circumstances.
Following his time at the top of the US central bank, Volcker continued to be active in economics and financial regulation, helping to lead President Barack Obama's response to the 2000s financial crisis.

Wow. Six foot 7. I had not realized he was so tall.
