Gross was honored with the Lemelson-MIT Lifetime Achievement Award in 2000 for his contributions as a true pioneer of miniaturized portable communications devices.

  • Whoa! That's my grandfather. It feels really surreal to see this. Some of those early family pics, even I have never seen. It just makes me miss him all the more. I DO wish it had mentioned his long marriage to my grandmother, Evelyn Gross, who passed away in 1978 and was the mother of his two children. I guess some people have an "agenda" to change history, unfortunately...and I'm not referring to my grandfather. Regardless, I miss you and love you, Pa, SO MUCH....
