Stephen Hawking has always been one of my real life heroes. I've read and studied all of his books several times and will do so again.
What a fabulous mind he had, one that prevailed in spite of all his physical difficulties.
I always felt so sad for him trapped in that body, but ultimately, I decided he wasn't trapped at all because he understood that he was free to do it all with his brilliant mind, and do it all he did.
Whatever it is that happens after life for him, may he have the keys of freedom to the cosmos and the answers to it all.
Consiracy theories have been abound for years that he died a long time ago, and the man we all see was an imposter.
Not sure what would be the reasoning behind this.
Plenty of people have defied all odds.
Stephen Hawking has made huge contributions to the scientific world, and was probably one of the most recognised people on the planet.
RIP Mr Hawking. 
Your star will shine forever.
Quite agree. And perhaps fitting he has passed on Pi day, 3-14.
