My Uncle Bob bought my family growing up their first ever telescope, a telescope so big that at the time it stood taller than me. I can remember watching the stars with the neighbors on a few summers nights.
He took us on a tour of StorageTek in 1988 showing off proudly the systems that they had built and the parts that he had individually machined.
He garnered a respect in myself for the sciences and engineering disciplines that still lives with me today. And along with his adeptness for engineering precision and measurement, he was a really nice guy.
Our lives are given meaning through others. We live through others, we live for others.
Our individual lives are a manifestation of all that who have come before us. And it’s only through giving back to future generations do we give thanks to those that helped us along the way.
Thank-you Uncle Bob. Rest in Peace.
