Death of Ross Perot

"Dear Ross and Family.. What a treasure all of you have been to Dallas, to Texas, to America, and to the world.
I first met Ross at EDS as an SED.. (Systems Engineer Development Program). Ross was at the EDS workout facilities at Forest Lane and doing Tai Chi. I had no idea what he was doing but stood behind him to mirror his movements. He saw me and then did a Jiu-Jitsu leg sweep on me and I fell to the ground. I am 6'1" and Ross was 5'5" and that may be an exaggeration!... and he took me down and laughed his signature Ross laugh.
After that we met regularly up at the Forest Lane location and it was many months until I was close to being his equal. He sponsored me in many tournaments and even came to the Southwest Regional finals.
His laughter, his grit, his fortitude his passion are always aspects I will cherish about Ross.. and even when he put me to the mat although I was a much larger person.
Ross was a larger person in life and didn't brag about his many conquests and I owe him a great debt of gratitude.
My Best.. to you Ross and all of your family...!"

"My deepest condolences to the family. May the God of all comfort sustain your family during the days ahead."

"Ross Perot was a true American patriot. He used his wealth and influence to shift power back in the direction of the American people. Mr.Perot courageously stood up to the deep state and made them shake in their boots. I still tell my friends "I never disagreed with anything Ross Perot or Jesus said or attempted to do." God Bless you Ross Perot."

"What a GOOD MAN! I have always admired his character, integrity, love for our country, and care for the everyday man and woman. He inspired me on every level. Thank you, Mr. Perot! You stood up for us. You fought for us! And we trusted you to get it all done. You outshone your competitors on every level and would have made a fine president. We owe you a debt of gratitude. Rest in peace, sir."

"So sorry for your loss and may God comfort you during this difficult time."

"I wish I could have said "thank you" face-to-face with Ross. We talked briefly on the phone many years ago on my 20th Anniversary with the EDS Corp, but I would have liked to have shook his hand for all he did for me. Ross and I had something in common: we were both the same height, which is to say short. But, to me, he was a giant. I started life late in life and could not afford to go to college, until I was 30. When I graduated from college, I was 35, and it seemed that no company wanted to hire me...except for one company, EDS, that saw potential in this older student. I have been retired now for years. I shudder to think what my life would be like now, were it not for Ross Perot and the company he founded that gave me a chance to prove that I, too, could be an EDS Eagle. Until EDS, I was a total failure in life. That's just the stark, honest truth. But, I joined EDS, and I worked very hard and was rewarded well, just as I was told that I would be. I eventually rose to the rank of EDS Senior Systems Engineer as well as EDS Senior Systems Administrator. I doubt if any member of the Perot family will read this, but if you are "out there" and read this, I want to thank you, too. No man is an island, and those of us who were long-time EDSers knew that he had a strong family behind him. Ross...I owe you so much, it is truly hard for me to fully express it in words. But, I'll see you I heaven, my dear friend. Until then, please know how much your life did good in my life and in the lives of countless others. May God Bless You and all of your Loved Ones forever."
