Wow, RIP. To think even the best and state of the art experimental cancer treatments money can buy aren't enough, makes me fell humbled and small.
Woah. He was the quiet one, so never knew much about him.
So sperm lottery or donation of the wealth?

How sad. Even someone with all the money and access to the best care in the world can't beat cancer at times. RIP
I lost someone I cared deeply about to same thing. Complications from non-hodgkin's. It had come back as well, everyone was optimistic, and he died after catching a lung infection. Its awful.
RIP Paul
RIP Paul. I'll join in on the fuck cancer.
I'm really sorry to hear that. I hope you're doing okay.

Wow I didn't know he was actually diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma back in 1982, have it treated, then come back in 2009 and now once again. So much time for him to have to worry about it coming back and deal with. My dad recently (3 years ago) went into remission with colon cancer and I always, always worry it'll show back up.
RIP.
RIP.
I feel bad for him and his family. That was a disease he battled for a long time. Too young to die.
God this one stings bad, RIP Paul. I have fond memories of MS-DOS in the 80s, growing up using Telix to dial BBSs, dabbling with Windows 2.0 and using autoexec.bat to trick MS-DOS to automatically boot into "Windows" lol. My childhood/teens were spend on the edge just tinkering with MS tech when maybe 5 kids in the entire school had computers.
Dude lived life to the fullest, made a ton of money and gave back a ton. Whether saving the Seahawks, building the EMP etc. dude had his hobbies and it showed.
Man that's awful, RIP.
I think it was Hodgkin's in '82, then Non-Hodgkin's in 2009, which then came back recently. Not sure if there's a relation between the 2, but cancer is always worrying. My wife is going through the same Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma now and it's been half a year since she's finished treatment. She's doing fine now (symptoms never came back), but I can't help but be worried everyday
Damn. RIP man. He was doing some amazing stuff in avaition and has an incredible personal collection of aircraft.
He owned the Portland Trailblazers and the Seattle Seahawks. He was also a minority owner of the Seattle Sounders of MLS.
Yeah it's hard on us for sure but I can't begin to think what they're going through on a daily basis. Glad to hear she's doing fine now, let's let that continue for a long, long time.
