Paul Allen, one of the co-founders of Microsoft passed away this afternoon from non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. He announced 2 weeks ago that he was re-entering treatment for it. He had had treatment for it back in 2009, and put it into remission.
He is survived by his wife and and his sister, he may have other members, but that was all I could find out.
Geeks are having a sad moment for him and his family…
