Such a shame.

But I have to say, he left a great legacy, and a great example for others to follow. His children should be very proud. I encourage everyone to read his book.

Great guy, awesome lecture. It's somewhere out in cyberspace, and I watched it in amazement.

Yes, great legacy, and a great way to live. Reminds me of the way Adrian Garcia lived his life- to the fullest, never quitting.

Cancer sucks.

Such a shame but he made the best of his life (and his family's) and that's all that matters

R.I.P. Randy. Such an incredibly inspirational and positive spirit. Very sad.


Like Jerose said, watch that video.

I saw his "Last Lecture" some months ago and couldn't less than admire him because of his attitude toward his reality. R.I.P., Dr. Pausch.
