The Resume

    (1956- )
    Construction worker
    Navy veteran
    Jumped on top of a convulsing man, Cameron Hollopeter, 20, who fell on the subway track (January 2, 2007)
    Shielded him from an on coming train, saving his life
    New York City Bronze Medallion recipient (January 4, 2007)
    AKA Subway Superman

Why he might be annoying:

    Despite being with his 4 and 6 year old daughters, he jumped on the track, risking leaving them fatherless.
    His daughters were there and could have witnessed their father killed by a train running over him.
    Newscasters covering the story speculating if they would have done what he did (who are they kidding?).
    Because of his scruffy look and winter attire, he could be confused with a homeless man.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He witnessed Cameron Hollopeter suffer a seizure on the 137th St and Broadway subway station.
    He and two women ran over to help Hollopeter.
    Hollopeter fell onto the track with a train bearing down on him.
    He jumped on top of Hollopeter, pushing his body and arms down into the well so the the train wheels would not run him over.
    Five cars ran over them and they only suffered slight bruises.
    As the train stopped, he yelled up to the station for someone to tell his daughter he was ok.
    He is extraordinarily humble and just feels he was doing the right thing, nothing heroic.
    He said: 'I don't feel like I did something spectacular; I just saw someone who needed help, I did what I felt was right.'
    Because his cap had a Playboy bunny on it, Playboy gave him a lifetime subscription.
    Donald Trump gave him a $10,000 reward, the Nets gave him season tickets and the MTA gave him a one-year free pass.
    He and his daughters were guests of President Bush for the state of the union.
