That is so sad.
But he created a company, and more importantly a culture within that company, that will carry his legacy on for a very long time indeed.
I bought my first computer, an Apple II+, in 1980. I've been an Apple computer nerd ever since, and I have practically nothing negative to say about them, but quite a lot of positive feelings.
For a long time, back in the early days, I felt more favorably toward Steve Wozniak, who actually designed and built the Apple I and II (along with various peripherals), but it was Jobs who did the heavy lifting after that.
I worked for a software company in the early 90s that did custom software development for the Macintosh, which led to doing some consulting work for Apple in Cupertino. One of my very good friends still works for Apple as a software engineer.
His death was inevitable of course, but it feels good that he knew so far in advance what his prognosis was, and that he was able to deal with it so well.
Farewell, Steve, and thank you.
