Just reading back through some old MSM articles, looking for the one where CM said to the effect that DM wasn't that interested in the business and they hoped that would change. Haven't found that yet, but re-reading does refresh some other things:
Here's one:
A former flying teacher has told reporters that as a boy he was "sweet and smart," and she expected he would end up working for an airline someday.
That did not happen. In 2005, a year before his death, Millard's grandfather chatted with a journalist who asked him what was going to happen with the succession at the family business, Millardair.
"My grandson (Dellen) is not overly interested in the business but maybe that will change," Carl Millard said.

Resentful, angry ... Was this directed at WM before or after he died? A responsibility he didn't want doesn't jive with suggestions that he closed the business due to business savvy and sound financial reasoning. IMO, he was simply peed off and didnt' want anything to do with responsibility, whether before or after WM's death.
I take it as it's written as well - after WM's death. I think anger and resentment is pretty common in the early stages of grief, especially when one is still quite young and is left with a lot of responsibility. If he wasn't ready for it and it wasn't making any money yet, it's perfectly understandable for him to want to close it.
