I'm fascinated, genuinely fascinated,  by how many people I don't learn about until I see their obituary. Interesting people who did interesting things that I may (or may not) have had interaction with, but never at they level of "somebody did this, but who?" Like the guy who died last year, who invented/designed the Solo plastic drink cup. That guy touched more lives more times than we have numbers to count them, I'm sure.

And the reality is that, like most people, I have neither the time, interest, nor focus to keep up with all these people and all their accomplishments in real time. But when their day's work is done, it's nice to be remembered, right? And I'm glad to know who they were, what they did, and how I was touched by it. I'm glad to know that, just as I'm sure most of us would be glad to be known about when our day's work is done. Not forever, but just once.

Very well said.
