Yes a brilliant man, sadly missed.

Obituary: Stephen Hawking


They praised his "courage and persistence" and said his "brilliance and humour" inspired people across the world.
"He once said, 'It would not be much of a universe if it wasn't home to the people you love.' We will miss him forever," they said.

Cambridge University just released what now is probably Hawking's last message to people, life and the world.

He was one of the greatest minds, but always tried to explain things in an understandable way. A short history of time is still one of the must reads.
As they say, a beautiful mind. May you rest in peace.
