Not a book.... My other Hero!
My hero? Wow. This one is easy. My hero is, was, and will always be my Grandfather, Robert 'Weiss' (pronounced wise) Rosalles. Well that's his given name but to me he will always be my PoPo.
He is/was the wisest man I have ever known. He was born in 1902 and he made it through life with only a second grade education.
I remember, as a little boy, staying up late at night and reading to him. Little did I know that he was really just helping me learn to read. Something he couldn't do. Nor could he write. He could barely sign his own name. But what he could do, and what he did do, was provide for my Grandmother and my Mother, and my Brother and Sister and me.
I couldn't count the times when I would wake him at 2AM when I was a little boy and ask him to fix me something to eat. Or the other times when he would wake me in the middle of the night to take me to the bathroom so I wouldn't wet the bed. And you know what? He never bitched, or moaned, or cried about it either. And if he did, I didn't know. Man he was great. I can only hope and pray I can be like him.
He bought me many things while I was growing up. Some I remember so vividly, he bought me one of my first bicycles when I got a paper route. He bought me tires for my car. Clothes and shoes and the list could go on. He taught me to drive. To be polite. He taught me manners. He taught me life! Whether it's good or bad, he taught me to be the man I am today. I hope he is proud of me. Boy I sure do miss him. God rest his soul.
Heroes
You say hero... I say ANGEL!

Over the years, comedians worldwide have sought that "HOOK". That special something that sets them apart from others and brings people to their show. At first thought you may think that a stand-up comedian who bills himself as "America’s Funniest Biker" has sought a "hook" that is far too narrow. Where could America’s Funniest Biker perform, and for what target audience? A biker bar? Motorcycle rally? A trailer park family reunion? If that's what you are thinking, you are way off the mark about this guy!
The fact is, America’s Funniest Biker, A.K.A. Russ Nagel has played in a wide range of venues including Trump Castle in Atlantic City, NJ, The Majestic Theater in Dallas, TX, and Catch a Rising Star in Las Vegas, NV. He has also performed to audiences at the Atlantis Hotel and Casino on Paradise Island located in Nassau, Bahamas and is a regular entertainer on-board Carnival Cruise Lines. With this in mind it may not be surprising to learn that he has also done events on behalf of the Fraternal Order of Police, performed at a variety of college campuses, and shared the stage with top comedians such as Chris Rock, Bill Engvall, and Bill Mahr just to name a few.
Russ has become recognized in the entertainment industry for achieving more laughs per minute than any comedian working the circuit today and has also been seen on The Nashville Network, A&E's Comedy on the Road, Showtime's Comedy Club Network, the WB, Spike TV, Comedy Central and the list goes on and on.
Being an 19 year veteran of the comedy stage, Russ keeps the laughs coming fast and furious with an array of topics ranging from family and marriage, to travel and current events, and yes he even throws in some biker stuff too.
So what are you waiting for? Ride on over to the comedy club nearest you and check out Russ Nagel, America’s Funniest Biker, performing his high-energy, rapid-fire, and extremely funny show!

Russ... I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your son. I can't imagine the pain in your heart. All I can do is to reach out, and let you know I care.
Wow... no comedy there, huh? So let's change the subject. Since you're now a 19 year old female, ummm... would you like to go out on a date with me? I'm sure it will be worth the drive from MI to LA. I have no idea what you look like now... but something tells me you'll put out. A merry time will be had by all!
Brother, I'm so damned sorry to hear about this! I remember meeting Jeremy at The Stardome years ago and thinking to myself what a nice young man. My condolences to you and your family. Stay strong Brother.
Dad, I love you more than I can ever tell you. I'm so proud of you and can't brag about you enough to anyone I come in contact with. Me, Kent, and Jeremy are lucky to have a dad like you. You are doing an awesome job. I love you!
