Microsoft Corp. co-founder Paul Allen died Monday, two weeks
after revealing that a cancer he successfully received treatment
for several years ago had returned. He was 65 years old.
Mr. Allen's company, Vulcan Inc., announced his death Monday
afternoon.
"My brother was a remarkable individual on every level," Mr.
Allen's sister and former Vulcan executive Jody Allen said in a
statement. "While most knew Paul Allen as a technologist and
philanthropist, for us he was a much loved brother and uncle, and
an exceptional friend."
Mr. Allen, who helped pioneer the personal computer industry,
started Microsoft with Bill Gates in 1975.
