I have just read Randy's book the Last Lecture and was touched by the positive and hopeful nature of the book and of course the man himself. I was saddened to read that Randy died in 2008, the passing of a wonderful man - best wishes to his supportive wife Jai and his children who will sadly grow up without him.

I knew Randy when he was at the University of Virginia. I recall him as a very kind, approachable, and friendly person, who always had a smile on his face. I will never forget the time when my young daughter and I unexpectedly ran into him at the airport, and we sat together and talked while waiting for our planes. Randy was single and did not have kids, and yet he had the most amazing way with interacting with my daughter. She was very young and energetic, and was literally climbing all over him. Not only did he not seem to mind, but he was full of smiles and laughter, and made her feel very happy and special. Even then, one could see that he would be a fantastic dad some day. I was very saddened to learn that Randy has passed away. I am also very honored to have known one of the truly great men in this world, who has enriched so many lives, and has left behind such an amazing and inspiring legacy. I was both smiling and crying when I watched his Last Lecture on YouTube. My warmest wishes and deepest smypathy to his family. God bless you all.

Ich habe niemanden in meinem Leben getroffen, der bei seinem Schicksal eine derartig positive Ausstrahlung vermitteln konnte. Ich bin froh seine Videos gesehen, sein Buch gelesen und seine Lehren verinnerlicht zuhaben. Sie geben Mut und Kraft, die Zukunft positiv anzugehen. Möge er in Frieden ruhen, und seine Familie und Kinder über den großen Verlust hinwegkommen.

I remember seeing his last lecture on line and it moved me to tears. As tragic as all this may be, due to man's imperfection, Randy will be back in the resurrection as the Bible promises Acts 24 v 15, and his future can be forever in a perfect world. For those who were close to him....what a privilege to have had him in your life! My thoughts are with you.
