Ever read the fine print on the Subway posters while waiting in line? Subway’s corporate name is Doctor’s Associates, Inc.

I grew up in Wallingford, CT, home of Subway #2 (#1 is in Milford). While the current location is down the street from the original corner location at Rte 5 and Center Street, across from the train station, Rosa’s Deli is within yards of both locations, and is 100x better.

No longer hot and fresh.

If he can’t live past 67 with 3.5 BILLION dollars, what chance do the rest of us have? I am glad I retired at 65 last week to ride my bicycle on a trip to the alps. I’m not looking back!

It’s still a heck of a story.

Cancer doesn’t care how much money you made.

It is. In the early days the CT locations did well marketing on the hard rock radio FM station (WPLR), and keeping late hours for when the partiers got the munchies. In those days, it was the only place in town besides Mr. Donut to get something at 2AM.

Well, after it comes out of the microwave it's pretty hot. :)

I remember several years ago ordering a meatball hero at Subway and the Middle Eastern guy at the counter asked if I wanted lettuce and tomatoes on it.

Sounds like he lived the American dream. While his illness and untimely death is a sad book end to his life by most measures, he was a success and made the world a better place for thousands, if not millions.

At least at a subway you can watch your food getting made. If I was a cop that is where I would eat. Some fast food places, like someone else said, will spit in your food.

“Cancer doesn’t care how much money you made.”

More importantly, neither does God.

What does that have to do with cancer?

Wasn’t he the one who not long ago commented on how if he were in the same situation today as a young man (when he started Subway) that because of Obama and the Democrats, it would be a lot more difficult to start an enterprise like Subway because of the taxes, Obamacare, and the overall stigma against working hard and becoming successful and wealthy as a result?

Does he have an alibi?

lettuce and tomato on a meatball sub is about as bad as the Firemans sub joint that wanted to put mayonaisse on a hot pastrami. being from NYC I almost stroked out.
