He’s dead. I wrote about him last year when his “last lecture” was first making the internet rounds. Ironically I ran across his book Thursday when I was at Chapters. I didn’t buy it though. I don’t really need a book to remind me to live my life fully. Like Randy and his family, I discovered that through experience.

His death is a timely reminder to us all that life will not wait for us to create the perfect template or get the kids raised first or for us to “get over” whatever traumas and disappointments that hold us fast.
