Hi,
I saw his video, The Last Lecture, last Sept 07, and just read his book with the same title only 2 weeks ago.
I was going to search for info on him to see how he was doing and then I saw the news that he just died on Fri 24 July 2008.
Here is an extract from Fox News :
"Randy Pausch, the Carnegie Mellon computer-science professor with terminal cancer whose "Last Lecture" became a YouTube sensation in late 2007, died early Friday morning.
Pausch died at his home in Chesapeake, Va., where he had moved from Pittsburgh last fall to be closer to relatives, said Carnegie Mellon spokeswoman Anne Watzman.
Pausch's wife, Jai, put out a statement early Friday thanking "the millions of people who have offered their love, prayers and support."
"Randy was so happy and proud that the lecture and book inspired parents to revisit their priorities, particularly their relationships with their children," she said. "The outpouring of cards and e-mails really sustained him."
For more information on his video etc, you can visit this site at

I salute him and wish his family, Jai and the 3 kids, well........
