Dominique Jean Larrey
Dominique-Jean Larrey, was a man to remember. At the age of 76, veteran of the Navy and inventor of the ambulance has died. He was born on July 8,1766 in Beau dean, France and he passed on July 25, 1842.
At the age of 16, Larrey went to go study medicine with his uncle, Dr. Alexis Larrey. Shortly after he went to join the Navy and saw that many people were dying on their way to the hospital, including him. So he figured out a way to have medical attention faster, an ambulance. Dominique was survived by his wife Charlette Elisabeth Lavelle, and his son Felix Hippolyta Larrey. Lots of people were intrigued by this invention and even Napoléon said he was the " The worthiest man I have ever met." If it wasn’t for him, there will be many more obituaries to be made. |
Martin Cooper
Martin Cooper was a very good man. With his invention of the mobile phone, he changed the world. But sadly, with great effort, I announce that the great Martin Cooper is no longer with us. Born on December, 26, 1928 in Chicago, IL, and now dead on May, 09, 2015 he has lived his days to the fullest.

He was a graduate from the Illinois Institute of Technology, and retired as a Manager from Motorola. One person was so happy about a phone that was mobile he said: ''I made numerous calls the day I got it in all places possible, even one while I was crossing the street.'' Fun fact about Marty is that when he first invented the mobile phone he used it to call his arch nemesis, to tell him what he had done.
