Just learnt that Prof Randy Pausch died in July last year- from the pancreatic cancer that he was suffering from. He outlived the doctors' predictions by three months and that must count for something. I think what was especially touching about the Last Lecture, in retrospect, was that it was not a presentation he made to his students, but one that he made to his kids about how his view of the world was changing now that he was conscious that time was finite.
Rest in peace, Randy. You deserve this one. With applause for the equanimity and courage in the face of death - I would certainly wish for that courage when the time comes.
