DIED. R.J. REYNOLDS III, 60, a grandson of the founder of the tobacco company that bears his name; of emphysema and congestive heart failure after a lifetime of cigarette smoking; at his home in Pinehurst, North Carolina. Known as "Josh," the oldest of four children, Reynolds had interests ranging from poetry to philanthropy to Thoroughbred horses. Attendees at his memorial service were asked to pass up flowers in favor of donations to Citizens for a Smokefree America, the antismoking group founded by Josh's half brother Patrick.
