My wife and I were travelling when we heard the news. Since Randy had disclosed his cancer and embarked on his “Last Lecture” we had been following him and trying to take in his life’s lessons. They are so self-evident and yet 99% of the time, people do not live up to them. Lets hope his death and the way he lived his life (especially his remaining months) will be a beacon for future generations to follow.
