Steve Jobs Passes Away

[filkertom]

From pancreatic cancer, at the age of 56. Pretty much no details at this point. Condolences to his friends and family.

Dude changed the world. Not a lot who can say that.

That's what my Dad died of.

Having known a few people with pancreatic cancer, he lasted a very long time with it. And yes, say what you like about Steve Jobs, he changed the world.

And hi Tom! How long have you been out on Dreamwidth?

I'm about 6 months younger than him.

Lucky for me, I don't have cancer.

I'm typing this on a MacBook Pro.

Yes, he changed the world. In a good way.

I'm about a month older than him.

Lucky for me, I don't have cancer. Anymore.

I don't know what I'd do w/o my little pocket jukebox.

As much as anything he accomplished, I admire the manner in which he faced and battled his illness.

I went to Jr. High with him. He was always the entrepreneur even back then. But his money making schemes always made people feel better afterwards, never worse.

Here's a salute to an old classmate, may he rest in peace.

He certainly changed my life.

I hate cancer in all its forms, and I have a particular hatred for pancreatic cancer.

Rest in peace, Steve.
