He died and was cryopreserved.
Hope one day in the future he gets thawed back to live and sees what btc has become.
So long, exceptional person.

RIP. That is crazy he went under cryo. Do you know how much they have to pay up front for that? Easily $500,000.
The world was made a better place thanks to Hal Finney's efforts.
I hope his family knows how much this community appreciates him.
Will they have a service even if he is being preserved?
If so, an address to send flowers would be good.

He will be remembered. I offer my prayer for peace and rest to his family at this sad time.
RIP.
RIP Hal and thanks for helping pioneer this great experiment.
They say only the good die young. He was a very good man. Bitcoin won't be the same without him. With deep regret I wish peace of spirit and condolences to his family.
RIP.

Long live his legacy.
He last logged on to bitcointalk.org on April 9th, 2014. I wonder what was going through his mind between then and now. His last post:
We used checks. For high value transactions, cashier's checks. I don't know how this transfers to a bitcoin environment. Oh, there wasn't as much mail order back then. Most shopping was local.
In response to the question "Old people, how did you protect purchases before widespread use of credit cards?" 
Sad news...
Being quite new to BTC didn't know Hal very well, but remembered this post:

RIP Hal. 
Sad to hear. Hal did great work his entire career, and was one of the earliest bitcoin adopters: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bitcoin-and-me-hal-finney-155054

Get your filthy fiat off me you damn dirty state.
Great man with an inspirational story. It is good to think he might come back to us someday.
I hope some day in the future there be a cure for ALS and a way to revive you Hal. RIP o/
