Mr. Pausch was diagnosed with incurable pancreatic cancer in September 2006. His popular last lecture at Carnegie Mellon in September 2007 garnered international attention and was viewed by millions on the Internet.
In it, Mr. Pausch celebrated living the life he had always dreamed of instead of concentrating on impending death.
