In everything said about him it seems the word 'humanitarian' is not among them.

Some change the world for the betterment of humanity through their generosity, others through their sacrifice, and yet others through their passion, perseverance, and vision. That only some of these are called 'humanitarians' does not in the least detract from the impact or legacy of the others.

But he made up for it by wearing Ghandi glasses.

Jobs was a private man. I bet he kept his donations and causes just a private.
And as others have noted, the ability to expand the horizons of humanity through Apple products is in of itself, a gift to humanity.

of course, I wish I had attended a keynote back in the Boston MW days of the 90s when I think Steve did one, maybe in 97 or 98...?
1997...I was one of 1500 that filled the Park Plaza Castle for Steve's first Keynote after returning to Apple - certainly a day to remember:

Bright lights burn out fast.
Steve gave me my 15 minutes of fame back during the Switch ad campaign.

My daughter texted me the news of his death from her iPhone. I avoided reading this thread all evening because I knew if would be tough to get through.
Rest in peace, Steve. You made a difference.
