Following Wednesday’s announcement that former Apple CEO and co-founder Steve Jobs died, mourners flocked to the company’s Cupertino headquarters and Apple stores around the Bay Area to pay tribute.
The stores furnished colorful sticky notes for crowds to write on and post on windows, and many wrote left creative messages fitting for the creator of the iPad, the iPod and the iPhone. Others left gifts, homemade artwork, or simply apples.

I had the opportunity to work at NeXT from near the beginning in 1987 until December 1994. Steve Jobs is the most unique and talented individual I ever worked for over my career which spans 30 years. While he was capable of being a royal pain in the neck, SJ beat to the tune of a very different drum. His legacy is second to no American over the past 100 years. The world is a better and cooler place due to Steve’s “insanely great” accomplishments at Apple, NeXT, Pixar, and back to Apple. Thank you Steve! May you rest in peace!
