Carnegie Mellon University professor, Randy Pausch passed away on July 25, from terminal pancreatic cancer. The dad who became famous for his life lessons "Last Lecture," which millions of viewers watched on television and internet, has left a lasting impression on those people, that will not be forgotten. Randy will be remembered on September 22 at the university.
The on-campus memorial is by invitation only, and will be held at 4:30 p.m. in the school's Rangos Hall. Those that are not able to attend, will be able to watch the service live on ABC's website.
Carnegie Mellon president, Jared Cohon said in a press release, "We wish we could accomodate everybody who would like to attend this event, but the size of even the biggest room on campus, not to mention our limited parking, makes that impossible. By making live streaming video available, we hope that everyone can join us as a virtual community." You can watch the live stream on abcnews.go.com/ , and Dr. Cohon has urged various schools and colleges to host their own memorials so staff and students can watch the service as well.
Randy is survived by his wife Jai, and three young children - Dylan, 6, Logan, 3, and Chloe, 2. Mrs. Pausch is expected to attend the September 22 ceremony, however, she is not expected to speak at the service.
