..but has left an enduring legacy in "The Last Lecture."  I HIGHLY recommend it, if you haven't read it.

What a great man with a great message. I second the recommendation of "The Last Lecture." Hopefully his children can know what a wonderful man he was.

I will third it.

And he created something that can really help people learn programing.
ALICE. Check it out at http://www.alice.org/
Also, if you don't have the book, find the lecture on line, it is worth the time to watch.

I just got to read this now. Thank you for the link -- I hadn't read/heard that before. He sounds like someone I would have loved and had a great time playing with, even if I didn't understand the technical parts of anything he said or did. ;)
