Comment on Randy Pausch, noted CMU prof, succumbs to cancer

Comments

His "last lecture" helped to bootstrap me out of nearly a year of depression.

It is a sad day when a man who has helped, inspired, and driven so many to excellence passes from the world, for few men are capable of stepping up to shoulder the burden that Randy carried, and fewer still could do so with such cheerfulness, tenacity, and care.

He was a great man, and he will be missed by many.

Kinda interesting, when you consider that the fact that this day was imminent was why he was able to help and inspire so many total strangers.
