My hero died this morning. If you haven't seen his last lecture, you need to...there is such a powerful message in it.

he gave a speech at Carnegie Mellons graduation just last month...and carried his wife off the stage, threshold style after speaking of the greatest love in his life...that's at youtube also

The world has lost a great, great man today, and i'm just heartbroken....d**n cancer!

Yes, we have lost a good man. I haven't read his book yet, just the excerpts on the internet, and the you tube stuff. It is on my list, though.

Thoughts are prayers are with his family.

Oh no, E.

I've been following his story and the updates on his site for months and months, praying for a miracle for him. What an amazing man, and what a legacy he leaves. Have you seen his site?

Oh man, I just tried to access it, and the connection failed. I hope it hasn't been removed, maybe the server is just overloaded with visitors.

I think he was a hero to sooo many people, his courage and sense of humor in the face of his diagnosis was the most inspiring thing I've ever seen. Even though the trend had been downward for awhile, I guess I still didn't expect it this soon. If sheer will to live was able to conquer cancer, he'd have lived forever.

Awwww man, this SUCKS!!!! I've seen many interviews and he was a very wonderful man. Prayers for his family. What a sad, sad, sad day

Very Sad day indeed

I have watched him lots on shows and such and have read his book and he truly was and will continue to be an inspiration to many.

Blessings going out to his wife and his little children.

Oh my gosh, I really thought there was more time. My heart aches and tears well up as I think about him passing. My heart goes out to his family and all the lives he touched.

Thanks for posting.
