Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma
Same thing that got him to quit 9 years ago from MSFT
RIP. This was the guy who found the Indianapolis.
He was a good guy. Quite a loss.
I admired him for his sense of history and respect for the nations sacrifices.
He discovered the wrecks of the Indianapolis in the Philippine Sea and Helena off the Solomon’s. I think he also found the Ward near the Philippines.
He was a fine man.
Someone could make a Dragnet parody with the title “the big bsod”.
I hope he had a good Estate Lawyer.
He did a lot for Seattle. Now they will make a grab for his Billion$.
Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma first diagnosed 10 years ago. It’s why he stepped down at Microsoft.
Just goes to show, money can’t buy everything.

I seem to remember from repressed memories that my mom told me a story....
“Daddy!”

I always thought Steve Ballmer was CEO of Microsoft. I haven’t been getting my updates.
Ecclesiastes 7:15
“All things have I seen in the days of my vanity; there is a righteous man that perisheth in his righteousness, and there is a wicked man that prolongeth his life in his evil-doing.”
(SorozNazi, HilLIARy, and others have long past age 65... 65 is so young nowadays. Well, at least he apparently had remission of his cancer for 10 years, that’s pretty good!)
Lucky you
“You can’t take it with you.”
Certainly seems to fit for Soros and Ruth Bader.
