He was on Oprah and was so inspiring. Not sure I would be able to handle it all with as much grace as he.

He's quite a guy.
When you're facing your own death you have only so many options. You can go screaming, crying, swearing, denying, fighting, accepting, inspiring, etc. He's obviously chosen to inspire and leave the best impression possible. KUDOS to him!

 He'll probably get more enjoyment and satisfaction out of the few months he has than most people get out of years and years of their lives. We hardly ever stop to really enjoy life and he seems to be doing just that!

I saw him on Oprah too. He's just wonderful and so inspiring. Every so often someone like him comes along to remind us of how much of a gift life is. I'm so
sorry he has to die.

Sadly, July 25th, Randy Pausch lost his battle with cancer.
What a great man. Rest in peace Randy. http://randypausch.legacy.com/lmw/homepage.aspx |

Yes, I was saddened when I read of his passing in July. I knew it was only a matter of time, but I had still hoped for a miracle for this man. I think he served well with his lecture.
