In the off-chance he ever reads this forum, I'd like to offer my condolences.

That's too bad. Hopefully he was with her and not still in Africa when she passed.

I have lost both parents, and it sucks. I wish him well

Faye Allen, mother of Paul G. Allen, dies at 90
Former teacher spent a lifetime inspiring people to read

SEATTLE, June 3, 2012 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- ...From her childhood job at a small town Oklahoma library to her book-filled home near Seattle, she surrounded herself with literature of every genre and from throughout the world...

Mrs. Allen died June 2. She was 90 years old...She is survived by Paul, Jody, and three grandchildren. Her late husband, Kenneth S. Allen, was the longtime associate director of the University of Washington library system...

(In Portland, a basketball player once fell on her during a game, breaking her wrist. She wouldn't leave, though, until the game was over.)...Shakespeare was a favorite and Mrs. Allen would lead the family on annual treks to Ashland for the Oregon Shakespeare Festival...

Mrs. Allen's love of books continues to be passed on at the Seattle Central Library, home to the Faye G. Allen Children's Center. She will also be remembered at the University of Washington's Henry Art Gallery, where the Faye G. Allen Center for the Visual Arts was dedicated in 2003.

Mrs. Allen died early Saturday of complications from Alzheimer's disease. She was first diagnosed with the disease in 2003. Caring for his mother helped inspire Paul Allen to create the Allen Institute for Brain Science.

She sounded like a neat lady -- too bad about the Alzheimer's. It is a painful way to go for those around you.

Sad news. I hope he media gives him his space during this time.

PA has had a huge impact on the Portland and Oregon community . . . and whatever you want to say about his ownership effectiveness, he is very good, generous and decent man. Portland is lucky to have him involved with the community.

My condolences to Paul Allen and is family. Very sad to lose a parent. She was a great supporter of theater, art and literature. The NW lost a great ambassador.
RIP Faye.

RIP. She appears to have had a long and productive life. You can clearly see the influences on her son (love of books, for example).
