Begin quote
Hawking’s children, Lucy, Robert and Tim, announced their
father’s passing in the following
statement:
We are deeply saddened that our
beloved father passed away today. He was a great scientist and an extraordinary
man whose work and legacy will live on for many years. His courage and
persistence with his brilliance and humor inspired people across the world. He
once said, “It would not be much of a universe if it wasn’t home to the people
you love.” We will miss him forever.
Hawking was first diagnosed with ALS in 1963, at the
age of 21. He was only expected to live for another couple of years, but was
ultimately discovered to have a rare form of the disease that progressed at a
much slower rate. He was able to walk on his own for much of the 1960s with the
help of crutches, but eventually required a mobilized wheelchair. When he lost
the use of his voice, he began using a unique method of synthesized
computer vocalizations that allowed him to remain vocal for the rest of his life.
