The dude had a lot of personal demons, but he was almost entirely self-taught, and proved that with some hard work, we can all accomplish what we most desire, or at least be honorable in the attempt and not feel foolish. That's what I take from his life, and I hope he is able to appreciate that somehow.

"The truth is that our finest moments are most likely to occur when we are feeling deeply uncomfortable, unhappy, or unfulfilled. For it is only in such moments, propelled by our discomfort, that we are likely to step out of our ruts and start searching for different ways or truer answers." (M. Scott Peck)
