"He lived a quiet, contented and intellectually vibrant life on his own terms," said another of his close friends, Lee Lewis. Lundquist died Feb. 25 of complications from a hip fracture sustained in a fall. He was 91. No single word or phrase encompasses Lundquist's eclectic mix of particular and sometimes contradictory traits. Obstinate but lovable. Introverted but sociable.
