Awwwww . What a difference he sure made in his life, and the legacy he left (especially for his children).

so young too, sad as it is you can pretty much be sure he wants us to remember his life not his death, a brave soul, may he rest in peace...

Saw an Oprah show with him...very inspirational.

May he rest in peace. Prayers for his family.

I have to admit that I didn't know who he was until I saw this morning's news. I haven't watched the lecture yet but I certainly intend to. Even without seeing it, the story alone is incredibly inspirational.

RIP.
