MR. Suzuki, 94 years old
didn't go swiftly in the end


Osamu Suzuki, the former boss of Suzuki Motor Corp who helped turn the Japanese mini-vehicle maker into a globally competitive company, has died aged 94.

Mr Suzuki was known for his candid remarks and friendliness, calling himself an “old guy from a small to mid-size company”.


He became CEO of Suzuki in 1978 and was leading the company when it became the first Japanese automaker to start local production in India, where its cars proved hugely popular.

Could have been easily killed in that terrorist attack on that airport, so to get another 34 years is a massive bonus.
