Oh how very sad..a man who saw the healthful benefits of eating a low carb lifestyle and lived it to the end...my prayers to the family...

Just saw it on the web. Such a loss.

This isn't a formal condolence page, but you can send a message to his wife at this link.

I'll be back later to post. I just got online, and I'm all choked up!

Oh, that is so sad. I first saw him on tv back in the 70s and he made so much sense I went right out and bought his first Diet Revolution book. It changed my life. He seemed like a genuinely nice fellow. A lot of the other low carb diet authors who have made mega-bucks sure owe dear Doc Atkins a big thank-you.

God bless him and his family

he hung in there when no one else believed him, and we're proof that his ideas were valid. thank goodness there are now docs to carry on his work!

a great loss

He sure made a big difference in my lide. May he rest in peace.
