Professor whose 'last lecture' about terminal cancer became sensation dies

[shepgirl]

Thanks so much for posting this Catty. I watched the video of that last lecture and was in total awe of the man. I'm sure that lecture will always be his children's best gift from him.

I purchased the book, just a week or so ago, and Scott is reading it now. We were both saddened to hear of his death today.

My heart dropped. I'm always surprised at myself for reacting so strongly and emotionally over someone I've never met or known. But how could you not "fall in love" with Randy Pausch? He affected me so deeply. I'm in tears...the beautiful family picture.
Safe Journey, Randy. Hope we meet one day.

I saw this gentleman on "Oprah" and hung on his every word. A close friend of mine was diagnosed w/pancreatic cancer just around the time that Prof. Pausch appeared on the TV show and he's still w/us so it struck a nerve. Even if that had not been the case, Prof. Pausch had such wisdom and courage that he should be an inspiration to us all. His family will most assuredly sting from such a loss. RIP, Prof. Pausch. You've touched so many lives.

This man is a true hero. He was dying, yet he remained strong and powerful to the end. He truly inspired me with his strength.

RIP sweet man. You've touched many lives with your wonderful, inspirational spirit.
