Paul Allen, who co-founded tech giant Microsoft with Bill Gates, died from complications of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in Seattle on Monday. He was 65 years old.

Allen's death was announced in a statement released by his investment firm, Vulcan.

"All of us who had the honor of working with Paul feel inexpressible loss today. He possessed a remarkable intellect and a passion to solve some of the world's most difficult problems, with the conviction that creative thinking and new approaches could make profound and lasting impact.

"Millions of people were touched by his generosity, his persistence in pursuit of a better world, and his drive to accomplish as much as he could with the time and resources at his disposal."

The statement says information on a funeral or memorial service will be released "as it becomes available."

Repeatedly and unnecessarily, and often causing more bugs then it fixes.

Nope, never married and only one sister. He also signed on to the Giving Pledge, so at least half his estate is supposed to go to charitable causes.

Oh never heard he did that...I know Gates did (that's why he isn't at the top of the World's Richest List anymore...)

Well, at least his soul will rest better knowing he gave back to the less fortunate...
