Microsofts response per tweet:

A personal remark from Jody Allen, Paul's sister:

"While most knew Paul Allen as a technologist and philanthropist, for us he was a much-loved brother and uncle, and an exceptional friend. Paul's family and friends were blessed to experience his wit, warmth, his generosity and deep concern," she said in a statement. "For all the demands on his schedule, there was always time for family and friends. At this time of loss and grief for us – and so many others – we are profoundly grateful for the care and concern he demonstrated every day."

Much more at the link. A legend among legends. RIP.

EDIT: Allen was optimistic about his treatment at the beginning of his month:

RIP, while it might be a bit early to ask. Is the family inheriting the Seahawks and Trailblazers?

 

[cryptoadam]

RIP and a true trail blazer.

But I have to ask is it ok to exonorate him? I have kept up so i don't know if he is a white supremacist, racist, or homophobe?

 

[dolabla]

RIP

Reminder it's important to be a good person because no matter how much you accumulate you can't take it with you. Your good deeds will speak on for you though.
