Happy Birthday Steve, and thank you for ALL of
the great games you've done. Thank you for the
years of dedication to the coin-op industry as well.

Love my Space Mission!

It is Dec 26th already as per the first post at 12:03!

I will play some games today on my Aztec to honour the occasion and
the great Steve Kordek!

Happy Birthday Mr. Kordek!

I guess it depends on where you live in the U.S.
But it's Dec 26th no matter WHERE you live in the states now.
So yeah, Happy Birthday to the great Steve Kordek!!
Steve is my hero and is like a walking pinball history book.
Long may you run.

I'm sorry Glen, I realized just after I posted that, you might be
somewhere, where it wasn't the 26th yet.

:) My Bad!

Have a good one,

Tom

That's okay, Tom. In fact, I thought you made a good point. I was
showing Fred's post here, as being made @ a little after ten but it
may well have been after midnight and Dec 26, where HE was... And I
believe Steve Kordek is 98 years old today!!! Isn't that amazing??

Hi everybody, wanted to confirm it. I just got off the phone with
Steve, he is 98 today! Pretty cool, huh? I don't know... there's just
something about him, I LOVE that old man!!!

Saw him and talked to him at Expo. He's 98? I knew he was up there but
I didn't think he was that old.
I hope we can celebrate 100 with him and I have no doubt that we will!

Just a great guy, he was asking some great questions at some of the
seminars at Expo this year and at close to 100 I think we should all
hope to be that sharp!

Happy New Year too Steve!

Yes, as he told me long ago:

"Mr. Kordek was my father's name. Call me Steve!"

He said that to me as well many years ago. However, when my kids are
with me, he allows the Mr. Kordek so my kids can properly address him.
