Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen has passed away today at the age of 65. He had suffered complications from his recurring non-Hodgkin lymphoma, which ultimately took his life this afternoon. He is survived by his sister, Jody Allen, who issued a statement with Allen’s company Vulcan Inc:
My brother was a remarkable individual on every level. While most knew Paul Allen as a technologist and philanthropist, for us he was a much loved brother and uncle, and an exceptional friend
Paul’s family and friends were blessed to experience his wit, warmth, his generosity and deep concern. For all the demands on his schedule, there was always time for family and friends. At this time of loss and grief for us – and so many others – we are profoundly grateful for the care and concern he demonstrated every day.
