46. So sad!!! So young!!I work on a Oncology unit and it's always sad to see young people with cancer. We have been getting more cases of cancer and they keep getting younger....sad, sad.

47. That's horrible, a truley good man.... He inspired me to do so much, as he did so many people. My heart breaks for his wife and kids.

48. How sad for his family. He was an inspiration and will live on in his kids. So sorry for their loss. Glad they have so much tape to watch and remember him, most do not. What a wonderful person we should all strive to appreciate life like he did. RIP

49. How sad! This man truly loved life and his family and I'm sure made the most of every moment he had after his diagnosis. Rest in peace Professor.

53. God bless the family of this fine man, who has had such an effect on so many. Thank you TMZ for not making a sarcastic headline as you often do when a death occurs.

54. As sad as it is when someones luckily he had time to reflect on his life and share that with us. If he could make that many people think about many things. God Bless REandy. Now you are suffering no longer.

55. My thoughts and prayers are with his wife and families. He was a true inspiration to any one person that has or is currently diagnosed with any fatal illness. God Bless.

56. He was such an inspiration. I so enjoyed reading "The Last Lecture". It made me realize how much I have to be thankful for (my health mainly!) and that if he wasn't feeling sorry for himself I certainly have no right to feel sorry for myself because of a few silly things like a sore shoulder and 20 lbs. to lose! What a man, what a legacy. My thoughts and prayers are with his family. So sad...

57. I am saddened to hear that this wonderful man has passed. He touched so many lives, including my own. I remember him on Oprah and how humble he was and how he didn't feel sorry for himself -- only wanted to send the message:

You can be a tigger or an eyeore when it comes to living life. I've always been the eyeore type, and that got me thinking....here's a man who knows he's going to die before his children, and is still bouncing around like tigger.

Bless him and his family -- he will be missed.

58. He was an inspiration - showing us how to live life to the fullest even with the worst prognosis. After losing a brother-in-law to this horribly quick form of cancer, I was hoping for a miracle. My heart goes out to his wife/kids he left behind.

59. Such a sad day. I watched the OPRAH special about him and took a lot of things out of what he had to say, What an incredible outlook he had on things. Among other things, I'll take with me his quote, "Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want." My heart goes out to his family.

60. Say what you need to say, say what you need to say, say what you need to say, say what you need to say...well, he did!
