1. My late friend Steve, who was a brilliant guy. I remember vividly one facet of his brilliance. He would get an idea about something that should be invented. He used to constantly leaf through technical periodicals, as he was an Electrical Engineer, and the invention, would appear shortly, after he mentioned it. He also designed a machine used for IBM when we worked in the laser industry, that inscribe the serial number, on the back of typewriter frames. Another invention was “The Button Marker” that inscribe numbers and letters on typewriter buttons ,using the laser beam.
Good family man who abstained from drinking and did not allow alcohol in his home. His wife, Janie was a remarkable woman, who was very caring, and helped anyone who needed it , and did it without their having to ask. She passed before him, from prostate cancer, at the tender age of 52.
2. My best friend Bobby. A very self disciplined guy, who definitely knows, what he wants from life and is good at making decisions, that is right for him and his family. Salt of the earth, and his wife, Barbara, who lets the world roll over her. We all had a lot of laughs together, and thoroughly enjoy being in their company.
If and when, he and his wife Barbara, ever visits me, don’t mention I posted this as he might be upset. When he gets upset with me, he asks, “is your hospitalization paid up” as he is very strong . He used to grab me and wrestle with me. I decided I would just let him have his fun, as I wasn’t going to get away and or win. He would let me go, when he had enough, or I cried “uncle”. Did you ever try wrestling with an 800 lb gorilla? I wouldn’t recommend it.
BTW – he wouldn’t hurt a fly but he is very strong. He is like a younger brother to me, and I consider him family.

What person/s, do you admire, and why?
