Really sucks.  

The silver lining is that for ONCE someone that is not a member of The Cult of the Entertainer as I call it gobbling up news cycles.  People that contribute virtually nothing to mankind, in the long run, are like the new gods that when they pass it's like the end of the world.  At least Hawking merits the attention.

He will definitely be missed in the science community. Very sad.
