An amazing man, who focused on what he COULD do rather than than the limitations imposed on him.

"But I have so much I want to do first."

A wonderful man a genius of science moving on our understanding of the universe further for the common man than anybody since Galileo. His love and humanity were equally deep.

I wonder if his family have 'saved' some of his ashes......

Ever the wonderful man, he arranged for 50 homeless people in Cambridge to receive a meal on the day of his funeral.
