re: What person in your life has been most influential?

My dad. I'm a better man than him but when I was a kid he was that guy. Big, strong, fearless, could fix anything. He fell off in my teens with alcohol. In my late teens I came across Ben Franklin's autobiography and a biography on Alexander Hamilton. That was inspiring in how I went forward with my life.
Now days not too many people I find influential. Elon Musk, Richard Branson types I find interesting.

This guy saved me from Diabeetus. I'll never drink Kool-Aid. EVER.

My grandma and mom, both were equally strong women and both lead by example. They're gone now, but their influence lives on in me.

My dad. He gave me the world growing up, hoping I can do the same in a few years.
He made sure we were at any big LSU sporting events.

My uncle Bob. World War II vet. Came from the generation that could build a camp in the marsh without power tools. Never had a credit card in his life; if he didn't have the cash he didn't need it. I miss the old SOB. But I don't know how he would handle the pussification of today's world.

I feel the same way, lost him 5 months ago. I feel lost without him.

I reckon my old man. I can't recall any specific moment of grand wisdom that changed my life forever; he just led by example his whole life. Second would be my father-in-law for much the same reason. Both just are good men. Third would be Stalin.
