Retirement
Regan retired quietly in Virginia with Ann Buchanan Regan, his wife of over sixty years. Late in life, he spent nearly ten hours a day in his art studio painting landscapes, some of which sold for thousands of dollars and still hang in museums. Regan had four children and nine grandchildren.
Mr. Regan was inducted into the Junior Achievement U.S. Business Hall of Fame in 1981, and renounced the title, claiming in part that "Reagan deserves this, not me."
Regan died of heart failure at the age of 84 in a hospital near his home in Williamsburg, Virginia.
