Bernie Marcus has died at age 95. Along with devastation, many tributes have been posted online in honor of Marcus and his legacy with Home Depot

Inside The Temple in midtown Atlanta Thursday, hundreds of friends and loved ones gathered to say goodbye and comfort the grieving family of Bernie Marcus, who died earlier this week at the age of 95.

After getting fired together from a hardware business in the 1970s, Bernard Marcus and Arthur Blank set out to build their own retail chain. They started with a few stores in Atlanta and built Home Depot into a national powerhouse that made them both billionaires.
