John Templeton died at age 95 in the Bahamas.  Templeton pioneered investing globally.  He emphasized the idea that one should buy good stocks at their most distressed point. An example would be his purchase of Union Carbide after the Bhopal disaster. Franklin Templeton funds proudly bears his name. Franklin was primarily a purveyor of bond funds. To broaden their offerings they purchased the Templeton Family. Click on the link to take a look.

Luis Ruykeyser had Templeton on his show the Friday following the October 1987 crash. I recall him being calm and sanguine. Luis there are bull and bear markets, it goes up and down he remarked.  Templeton and Buffet truly have the long term view.
