9. I admired his tenacity. Bailouts for capitalism, but still ...

Had family in Detroit I was worried about

10. Godspeed.

Many will recall that Iacocca and Cheeto were the two high-profile businessmen most often mentioned as potential presidential candidates back in the late 80s.

Our fellow voters chose the wrong one, alas.

11. I remember him for the E-bike & all his ventures before that, R.I.P. NT

12. I remember he led the Statue of Liberty-Ellis Island Foundation.

He was charged with leading the private sector effort to repair and refurbish the monuments. Of course, that was back when our nation valued its immigrants.

15. I remember when he was promoting the American Immigrant Wall of Honor at Ellis Island

My mother added her parents names - my grandparents from Poland both came through Ellis Island - and my paternal great grandparents from Ireland.
