My OperaRest In Peace

I realize I'm a few days late, but I would like to take this time to recognize the life and death of a truly amazing man - Randy Pausch. He lost his battle with Pancreatic Cancer last Friday...leaving his wife and three children behind. 
Randy's outlook and attitude were nothing short of astounding. He gave a lecture shortly before he died which is known as "The Last Lecture". I'm sure most of you have heard of it and perhaps even seen it. (That link isn't the entire lecture - only an excerpt.) There's also a book by the same name. I haven't read the book, but would really like to.
I don't really know what else to say about the passing of this fascinating man...other than I am deeply saddened that he lost his battle with Cancer.

I have never heard of this man before this, he appears to be amazing! Just seeing his high spirits and acceptance of fate can teach us wonderful things about the human spirit. Thanks for sharing another great person who has come and gone from this earth.
In case any of his family stumbles by these comments in the future...The best of best wishes to you all.

He really was one of a kind. He said that people need to decide whether they are a Tigger or an Eeyore...he vowed to remain a Tigger through thick & thin. He really did up to his last breath. Such a touching story.
