<p>Microsoft is mourning the passing of Paul Allen, a renowned philanthropist and business leader who co-founded the company more than four decades ago. He was 65.</p>
<p>Allen died Monday from complications of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, according to a <a href="http://www.vulcan.com/News/Articles/2018/Statement-on-Paul-G-Allen">statement</a> from Vulcan Inc. on behalf of the Allen family, Vulcan Inc. and the Paul G. Allen Network.</p>
<p>In a written statement, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella noted Allen’s huge impact on technology and much more:</p>
<p>“Paul Allen’s contributions to our company, our industry and to our community are indispensable. As co-founder of Microsoft, in his own quiet and persistent way, he created magical products, experiences and institutions, and in doing so, he changed the world. I have learned so much from him – his inquisitiveness, curiosity and push for high standards are something that will continue to inspire me and all of us at Microsoft.</p>
<p>“Our hearts are with Paul’s family and loved ones. Rest in peace.”</p>
