Paul Allen was much much more than a Sports Team owner. He liked 2001 (the movie) in Cinerama, so he bought it when it was a dump and made it beautiful. His Living Computer Museum is great. The Flying Heritage & Combat Armor Museum in Everett is beyond cool. What his vessel the RV Petrel is doing with finding the WWII wrecks (Indianapolis, Helena, Lexington to name a few) speaks to a man who had lots of money and lots of big ideas! He did save the Seahawks and then stepped out of the way and let football guys run the operation to lead us to the Golden Age of Seahawks football. He leaves big footprints! RIP.

This thread represents a lot of dead well known people.
