The thing to note about Mr. Hawking is that when he was first diagnosed with ALS at the age of 21, he was only expected to have around two and a half years of life left. The fact that he lived up to age 76 is remarkable in itself, and while he may be gone, he had lived a truly remarkable life. It's sad that he's gone, but he held out longer than anyone ever expected him to, which in itself is a giant "fuck you" to anyone who had little faith in him from the beginning.

Cheers to you, Mr. Hawking. You were remarkable.
