Randy Pausch Was a Great Dad

Randy Pausch died on July 25th 2008, but this incredible dad left behind a wake that will continue affecting people’s lives all over the world. Not long after he learned he had terminal cancer and had just months to live Randy gave his now famous “Last Lecture” at Carnegie Mellon University.

Knowing he had a limited number of days left to share with his wife and 3 young children Randy set out to enjoy those days as fully as possible and to leave behind what he could for his children. His Last Lecture was given for his kids and over 10 million of us have been fortunate to have been able to watch it ourselves. It’s powerful, spot on, and a must-watch.

Here’s a pic of Randy and his family dressed up as the incredibles on his last Halloween with us. It’s the perfect costume for Randy and his family and serves as a message for all of us dads: Have fun! Enjoy life! Be a kid for your kids sake!
