In 1986, my Aunt worked from home with EDS while battling cancer almost all the way until the end. During that time there, my mom had answered the phone and handed the phone off to my Aunt not knowing who it was. It was Ross Perot checking on her and how she was doing with things and he told her all her hospital/chemo bills would be taken care of by him. As of a week ago, she passed 35 years ago. Ross Perot 100% Class Act!

A modern day Benjamin Franklin: a self-made man whose life blessed the nation and was then thrust into politics by his love for his country. Few have as much right to claim the title "American" as Ross Perot.

@@eadams1057 Met him several times. I used to eat often at a restaurant he also happen to frequent not far from SMU. he was the friendliest Billionaire I ever met. Even when he was running for president and had several bodyguards around him, he'd always come over to shake hands and he always stopped to talk and make you feel special. I definitely miss him also, just as you do.

Mr. Perot was laughed at, scoffed and ridiculed, but he was RIGHT! I heard and saw that giant sucking sound as I later drove down Van Dyke, Groesbeck and Gratiot in Detroit, MI. In the 60's, 70's and 80's those streets were booming with tool and dye shops, always busy and humming. I had neighbors who were tool makers, who had great jobs. Then one day after we signed NAFTA, they were all gone! All that work left for Mexico and China and we lost our country. We all knew what the elites had done to us and we all knew we would never be the same. My family voted for Mr. Perot because we looked behind the curtain. I was working contract at GM at the time and GM hated him when GM bought EDS. He made his people work, have accountability and have dress codes while GM thrived on nepotism, kissing up to the boss and hiding to get out of work.
