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...

I saw this in the paper this morning. I knew about his lecture but had never watched and listened to it. Thanks for the link.

I just watched it and cried through most of it, not because it was sad but because it was so enlightening.

I've added the link to my Facebook page and I hope some of my friends will watch part of his message.

I hope that I can be half the kind of teacher and person he was.

Anyone check out "Alice"; he oversaw its development:
