Rest in Peace, Bob Moog
Bob Moog was one of those people very few people have heard of, yet most people have heard the sound of Bob's intruments. Bob Moog created the first integrated synthesizer, which in turn enabled countless bands to use synths at gigs. Later, the analogue sound of these instuments sparked the creation of the modern electronic music scene, with the the Prodigy (the band) even naming themselves after the Moog Prodigy.
Even though I don't own a Moog synthesizer myself, every single synth I have carries on Bob's heritage. May you Rest in Peace, Bob Moog.
