“I have lived with the prospect of an early death for the last 49 years. I’m not afraid of death, but I’m in no hurry to die. I have so much I want to do first.”

He died in π-day that also happens to be Albert Einstein's birthday.

And Albert Einstein died at the age of 76 as well. What a coincidence.

Stephen Hawking was born 8 January 1942, exactly 300 years after the death of Galileo.
