"I want to die remembering my pranks, and the fun I had, and funny jokes. I decided that life, for me, was not about accomplishment. It was about happiness." Dont get me wrong -- I genuinely agree with this. However, such comment means little when you have achieved an (unusual) high level of success. You have experienced something the vast majority does not. To be in a position when you will be thankful taking your last breath around your close family, but will be mourned ALL OVER THE WORLD... and be remembered in the computer industry alongside Fred Brooks, Ken Thompson, Steve Jobs, etc... not to mention others (when they pass) like Linus Torvolds, John Carmack, Brian Keringhan... to name a few! In the back of his mind he know this. He is just letting nature run with this, while focusing on family. He has acheived a lot and I respect that.
