The man is getting on in his years. God forbid he doesn't live another 20 years, but I personally would like to be able to say I met the man.

He kept pinball alive. That in its-self to me is worth a smile and a handshake.

He could be at a golfcourse 7 days a week in Florida, but the man has passion and he still is bringing fun to many thousands of homes. Yes I am a blatant Stern Fan, but brand names aside, being a business owner all my life (no work equals no eat) I like the way the man has kept on going forward n nothing has stopped him to date.

I can respect the man for that alone. You are right, he is not magic or a hero, just a normal bloke, but when my 4 year old son plays X Men Pro and absolutely loves it, Gary could put on a super hero costume n my son would love to meet the man, as would I.
Horses for courses.

Its okay, some will go, others will not. There is no right or wrong answer here.
Its just pinball.
