End of the year is only a couple of days from now and the
media is trying to capture all that happened in 2011 and a lot has happened,
probably more than in other recent years, more important, world changing stuff
that I am pretty sure will be noticed by history.
I am always amazed by the list of people that have died in
the past year; made up of people that I actually knew something about…it always
seems too long…
This year is no exception with Steve Jobs at the head of my
list because he has meant so much to world technology and to me and my
business.
Actors Elizabeth Taylor, Jane Russell, Jackie Cooper, Jeff
Conaway, James Arness, Peter Falk, Cliff Robertson, Harry Morgan, …names I grew
up watching.
Andy Rooney, someone I watched on 60 Minutes for many, many
years.
Jack Kevorkian, a man ahead of his time.
Boxer Joe Frasier, wrestler Macho Man Randy Savage, body builder Jack
LaLanne …names I also grew up with.
Amy Winehouse, a singer I just discovered and gone already.
Dobie Gray “The In Crowd”, “Drift Away” and Gladys Horton “Mr. Postman”, Phoebe Snow "Poetry Man", songs
I listened to, sang and danced to.
Christopher Hitchens, author on religion that inspired me.
And of course the ones that made our world a better place by dying:: Osama bin Laden, Moammar Gadhafi and Kim Jong IL
Yes there were many, many more that made a difference in our
world; these are just a few names that I am most familiar with…
