An Unhappy Anniversary
Yesterday was both Dawn and Art’s 20-year wedding anniversary, as well as Barack and Michelle Obama’s 20th (congrats, you crazy kids!). Today, however, marks a decidedly sadder anniversary: it’s one year from Steve Jobs’ untimely death.
Tim Cook, Apple’s current CEO, wrote about it on Apple’s homepage, and Apple has posted a video highlighting his life. Tim writes,
“Steve’s passing one year ago today was a sad and difficult time for all of us. I hope that today everyone will reflect on his extraordinary life and the many ways he made the world a better place.
One of the greatest gifts Steve gave to the world is Apple. No company has ever inspired such creativity or set such high standards for itself. Our values originated from Steve and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple. We share the great privilege and responsibility of carrying his legacy into the future.
I’m incredibly proud of the work we are doing, delivering products that our customers love and dreaming up new ones that will delight them down the road. It’s a wonderful tribute to Steve’s memory and everything he stood for.”
Rest in peace, Steve.
