Julius Caesar was just beginning to bring the Roman Republic into an era for strong man Emperors. He was such a brilliant person that it would have been interesting to see what he could do with ruling Rome.
Lincoln might have had a longer time to heal the wounds of the Civil War with another 30 years as an influential ex-Pres.
But they were both elderly for their era when they died so it’s hard to tell how they would age.
Churchill
Reagan
Patton.
In the spirit of the George S. Patton Jr. suggestion:
A.S. Johnston
Patrick Cleburne
Stonewall Jackson
(George S. Patton Sr. belongs with this crowd, but in my estimation is not as good as the three named, or his grandson.)
Pat Tillman and every other young man who died fighting for this country but didn’t live to see the fruits of their labor.
Pope Pius XII
Archduke Ferdinand
Henry VII (England)
Honorable Mention:
Benigno Aquino Jr.
Thomas J.Jackson
Bob Marley
Glenn Miller
Jefferson, Edison, Einstein.
Art Bell
Robert Johnson (Blooze)
Laura Ashley
No one. A longer life would disturb the time space continuum and as Star Trek explained that usually isn’t good.
Frankly, I don't think the world can survive without me.
P.S. - sorry about taking 60 years away from two other important people.
Impossible to pick just three of course, but here goes:
Barbara Olson - I really wish she could be here to see the Trump revolution
JFK - the Communists knew who stood in their way
Airey Neave - ditto with the IRA - a giant of a man in so many ways; the architect of Margaret Thatcher’s first election victory and a key advisor who had he lived would have had a crucial influence upon her premiership (not least, not surrendering to the IRA - just as a PoW, he defied the Nazis).
Andrew Breitbart.
Princess Diana.
Lee Harvey Oswald (so we could have known the truth).

JFK, so we could have avoided guns & butter LBJ & the 1965 Immigration Act which will collapse our nation in the near future.
General George Patton.
General Custer for the hell of it.
Walt Disney
Roy Orbison
Barbara Stanwyck
Aristotle
The three people I wish were here at this moment are Churchill, Harry Truman, and Will Rogers...all for the same reason (to speak the unvarnished truth).
- Abraham Lincoln - POTUS
- Jackie Robinson - Major League Baseball Player - 1st African-American Major League Ballplayer
- John Ford - Producer/Director - Hollywood/Ireland - four (4) time Academy Award Winner (The Only One)
