We lost a good one, not very often a person comes around and makes such a huge difference (in a positive way) in people's lives. He was the "real deal" and (of course) will be missed.
I forgive him now for the hockey puck mouse... New Guy

steve jobs' vision certainly made a difference in our family's life. i can't imagine that we'd have all gathered around the ol' packard bell in 1990.
our sincerest condolences to his family and to all who share a feeling of loss at his death. rip.

I haven't been this sad since Joe Strummer died :-(
I haven't been this sad since 9/11.

When the Red Sox won the World Series in 2004 my second reaction after about 2 seconds of elation was to hold back tears. My dad was a die hard Red Sox fan for at least 60 of his 72 years. He missed watching his team win by 8 months. I'm still a little angry he didn't get that. He deserved it.
Ends of eras are hard.

He would be getting off here; we were to proceed without him into the unknown. Let it go and look ahead was the message all along.

I had to go out and meet with several clients today ... I made myself a little something to wear first.
