RIP Paul Allen

I work at Microsoft - although Gates gets a lot of credit as the Founder, Allen was right there with him in the beginning.

 

He is going to leave a big void in the Seattle community.  In addition to the Seahawks and Trailblazers, he owned Vulcan (which controls a lot of real estate out here).  Also runs a few museums (SciFi, Experience Music Project, Living Computer Museum) and did a ton of philanthropic work in the region.  He was one of the good guys.

Oh sorry I missed that. Sucks the guy was only 65 I know that's not that young but it's not that old either especially for a guy that could probably afford the best medical care.

It’s not old.   

 

RIP.

RIP.  Seemed like a really good owner and guy.  As others have said, death doesn’t discriminate.  Prayers to his family.

He also had an interest in recovering wartime shipwrecks.  I think he found the Indianapolis, and a lot of others.  RIP.

How hard is it to find a city?

You thinking of buying?

 

RIP......65 gets younger and younger. 

Well, let's see, I can check the couch cushions and the change in the console of the car and there's my lottery ticket for tomorrow... Hey, if you could just spot me, maybe a billion and half, I could probably finance the rest.

Try harder! Throw in a lemonade stand and that might put you over the top!
