Sir Richard Branson paid a final, profound tribute to his wife, Joan Templeman, calling her “my best friend, my rock, my guiding light, my world.” The couple met while Branson was building Virgin Records and famously married on Necker Island—a property Branson purchased as a “grand gesture of affection” for her. Joan Templeman is survived by her husband and their two children, Holly and Sam Branson.
