DETROIT (AP) — Best-selling author Jeffrey Zaslow was killed Friday when he lost control of his car on a snowy road after promoting his latest book in northern Michigan. He was 53.
Zaslow, co-author of the million-selling book “The Last Lecture,” was also a former columnist for The Wall Street Journal and former advice columnist for the Chicago Sun-Times. Zaslow, who had an affinity for stories of heroism and resilience, worked on memoirs of U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and airline pilot Capt. Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger.

Morris said Zaslow’s first book was based on a 2007 column he wrote for The Wall Street Journal. “The Last Lecture” was published in 2008 and has been translated into 40 languages. It was inspired by Carnegie Mellon University professor Randy Pausch’s “last lecture” of his life’s lessons. Pausch died in 2008 of pancreatic cancer .

What a loss.
If you’ve never seen “Last Lecture”, then you should.
And, this columnist had so much to do with capturing the “song”.
